Great recipe and easy. The quiche looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI really love ham and gruyere together. This looks like a winner!
ReplyDeleteI made ham soup, now I will make ham quiche and see if the Ex-Ex likes it! I just happen to have some gruyĆØre in the frigo at home.
ReplyDeleteMerci!

I don't know why the whole "real men don't eat quiche" thing even started. It's absurd -- who doesn't love Bacon and Egg Pie !? No one. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI just have to say that you really are my hero!! I love that you work all day and then come home and put together interesting and fun meals for the rest of us to read and drool over!! It totally sparks my creativity in the kitchen and makes me happy just to think about what may come out of the oven next! THANK YOU!!! And oh yeah... BTW- LOVE QUICHE!
ReplyDeleteLooking very delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt's perfectly gorgeous! So gorgeous, that'd you wouldn't want to cut into it. WRONG!!! Wish my fork could scoop a mouthful right about now.
ReplyDeleteReal men like quiche, especially when it looks this good and I'm with him on the leftovers.
ReplyDeleteI love quiche! I think I will have to try this recipe on Sunday after I go buy more eggs :)

I could eat just about anything with gruyere in or on it. Except fish.
ReplyDeletewhat kind of pepper do you use?
ReplyDeleteAngela - I used black pepper.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have Gruyere Cheese but I HAD to have this today! So I used what I had, which was alittle shredded Queso cheese, alittle Mozzarella, and alittle grated Parmesan Cheese instead. YUMM!! You really can't go wrong using this recipe, thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe but I have always immediately baked it after preparation. If you freeze this unbaked pie, do you need to thaw it prior to baking it? If not, do you anticipate a longer baking time?
ReplyDeleteI always thaw before baking and bake as directed above. If you bake it from frozen, you will definitely need to increase the baking time.
