Hi Everyone,

As I mentioned in my previous post, there were two very popular requests for recipes from my personal Facebook page this week, and the first recipe I posted yesterday was for the Roasted Eggplant Pizza. Today I am sharing a recipe for Ham, Cheese, Kale, and Potato Quiche.

This was very easy and can be put together quickly with any combination you choose. I had leftover ham that I didn’t use from making split pea soup, some kale, two potatoes, and some cheese in the refrigerator and it all came together and gave me the inspiration to make a quiche.

I am one of those people that could eat any type of quiche and a salad for lunch every day and never get tired of it. I have been known to rummage through the veggie bin toward the end of the week and find ingredients for a weekend quiche. This particular quiche was exceptionally delicious.

I hope this recipe inspires you to start experimenting with ingredients and start making a weekly quiche for yourself.

Ham, Cheese, Kale & Potato Quiche

Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup half and half OR whole milk
• ½ cup real mayonnaise (Optional)
• 2 TBSP flour
• 1/3 cup minced red onions or shallots
• Garlic powder to taste
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 8 ounces shredded, mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp grated cheese
• 2 yellow potatoes – washed
• 1 bunch kale- removed from main stem
• ½ cup of diced ham or half of a pre-cooked ham steak

• 1 9-inch unbaked frozen “deep Dish” pie shell – OPTIONAL

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Dice the potatoes into bite-size pieces and parboil for 10 minutes in boiling water. After 10 minutes remove from the pot; drain the potatoes -set aside.

Wash the kale and remove the leaves from the main stem and dice the leaves into strips- set aside

Dice the ham into bite-size pieces and set aside

Add 1 tbsp of olive oil (or vegetable oil) to a large skillet and saute the potatoes until they start to turn golden

Add the shallots and a sprinkle of salt and pepper

Add the kale and saute until the kale wilts.

Remove from the skillet into a large bowl.

Add the ham and garlic powder.

Hand whip eggs, half-and-half, mayonnaise, and flour in a medium mixing bowl. Add the mozzarella cheese and grated cheese. Mix well.

Add this mixture to the kale, ham, and potatoes. Pour into a deep-dish pie pan sprayed with cooking spray.

If you want a crust with this quiche, pour this mixture into an unbaked 9-inch, deep-dish pie crust.

Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the top is golden brown.

6-8 servings
