Quiet Christmas Morning

A Quiet Christmas Morning
After the flurry of activity that precedes Christmas, my husband and I carve out a serene moment to unwind with bubbly mimosas in hand. We settle into the cozy warmth of our bedroom, where our elegant white Christmas tree twinkles softly, casting a gentle glow in the dim light. The fireplace fills the room with a comforting ambiance, wrapping us in a cocoon of warmth. As we smile and discuss our year, we savor the delightful aroma wafting from the oven, where our Christmas Quiche bakes to perfection, a symbol of the joy and togetherness of the season.

 

Christmas Quiche

  • **Ingredients:**
  • – 1 unbaked pie crust (I use a frozen one)
  • – ¼ lb. of cooked crumbled bacon or ham
  • – 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • – ¼ cup finely chopped onion (optional)
  • **For the filling:**
  • – 2 eggs
  • – 1 cup evaporated milk
  • – ½ teaspoon salt
  • – ½ teaspoon pepper
  • **Instructions:**
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Use a fork to prick holes in the pie crust to allow air pockets to escape. Bake the pie crust for 5 minutes, then remove it from the oven.
  •   2. Layer the cooked bacon or ham, Swiss cheese, and optional chopped onion in the pie shell.
  • 3. In a separate bowl, mix together the eggs, evaporated milk, salt, and pepper.
  • 4. Pour the mixture into the pie shell over the layered ingredients.
  • 5. Bake at 325°F for 1 hour. Depending on your oven, you may need to cover the edges of the pie crust with foil strips to prevent them from over-browning.
  • Enjoy your delicious Christmas Quiche!
