Savory Ham and Mushroom Quiche image

This is a really wonderful treat, good for breakfast with muffins and fruit, or lunch or dinner with a nice green salad. I prefer making the shell-less mini quiches. They fit my husband's low-carb needs, and they reheat well in the oven or microwave, making them great quick breakfasts or snacks. They would also work well for a brunch buffet.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 prebaked sweet tart crust (optional)
1/8 lb deli ham, cut in 1/4 inch cubes (I prefer Boar's Head Sundried Tomato and Rosemary ham)

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large eggs
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 -2 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • Brush pre-baked tart shell with 2 T Dijon mustard.
  • Scatter over ham mixture, then cover with 1/2 c shredded cheese.
  • Pour over egg mixture, then scatter about 1/3 c shrdded cheese over the entire tart.
