This crustless Ham and Cheese Mini Quiche is low on the carb scale – like 3 grams of carbs with 12 grams of protein. Healthy enough for every day and deliciously handsome and tasty enough for company! Ham and Cheese Mini Quiches work very well as a make ahead and freeze till needed dish. Great for overnight guests!

Cheddar and Ham Quiche
Leftover ham after a holiday? Cheddar and Ham Quiche will help you solve the problem of what to do. Quick, easy and tasty, too. Cooking with evaporated milk is something relatively new to me. I stopped drinking milk with meals about 3 years ago. Love cold milk, but it wasn’t returning the love! No more gallon jugs of milk in the fridge. I was going through a couple of gallons a week and now half a gallon will last almost three weeks. I still cook with milk, but there isn’t always enough in the fridge for the recipe I want to make. Or if there is, its past the due date and a little sniffy – can I admit that?? So I started keeping a can or two of evaporated milk on the pantry shelf. It also comes in handy for times when it is blizzarding outside and a trip to the store is the ... [Read More]
Smoked Salmon Quiche
Deep Dish Smoked Salmon Quiche with Dill. I could almost smell the smoked salmon when I found this recipe in a Quick and Easy Paula Deen’s magazine. So when I saw smoked salmon on sale the deal was sealed. I picked up the salmon and carton of half and half and planned to make it for dinner the next night. Life got in the way. Like two weeks worth. Tonight was the night I could make this quiche that has been on my mind. Except – well, I’ll tell you what I did and what Paula said I shoulda done. She wanted me to roll two pie crusts from a package of refrigerated pie crusts together. We are on carb watch. One pie crust is enough. I prebaked it, but pricked it with a fork instead of using her pie weight or dried beans, neither of which I had. I didn’t have the Fontina cheese she ... [Read More]
Ham and Parmesan Mini Quiche
A platter of these little quiche looks quite elegant on a table for a shower or tea party. They are surprisingly filling so they are perfect for a small dinner party celebrating Mother’s Day, birthday or other special occasion. Be prepared as the hostess though. Do NOT worry when the room goes silent. That's every hostess nightmare. But this time everyone is just focused on the creamy wonder of this little quiche! They are unbelievably good! And so easy to make! I recently made them three times in one month and looked for excuses to make them again. They are that good and every bit as good when served to the family, too. Using refrigerated pie dough makes things extra easy. Yes, you can warm the dough in the microwave according to package directions, but it is much ... [Read More]
