Ham and Cheddar Quiche

Posted on by

Ham and Cheese QuicheQuiche is one of those foods that when I make it I think, Man this is so good, I should make this more often! Actually the whole family really loves eggs in most forms, but Quiche is very high up on the list for all of us. We order it at restaurants, eat it at home, all enjoy it. So why don’t I make it more? Good question, I do also love the variety of my kitchen. Come over for dinner and you never know what you’re going to get! This recipe was so quick to put together, although it does need a long bake time, so plan that when you make your meal plan. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!

Cheesy Saucepan Potatoes and Ham

Posted on by

Cheesy Saucepan Potatoes and HamUsually I just stick to the same title of a recipe when I make it and blog about it. It could be that I am not very creative, or more probably that the title just fits so well so why bother changing it. This title was originally called Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes with Ham, I always picture scalloped potatoes as hot and bubbly after being baked for a long time in the stove. As these babies are cooked on the stove top I have decided to change the name. Something I have also noticed about my self this week, is I don’t really read the directions to recipes when I am making my meal plans , just the ingredients list, so sometimes it is hard to time dinner when you have no idea how long it will take. After a bunch of dinner mishaps this week, I will be reading a recipe straight through from now on!

I found this recipe in another gem of a cook book The Big Book of Weeknight Dinners

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 lb white potatoes, peeled and sliced thin (about 4 medium)
  • 2 cups cooked ham, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 cups half-and-half

1. Melt butter in large saucepan  and cook garlic 1 minute. Stir in potatoes, ham, cheese, flour, and pepper.

2. Pour in half-and-half and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Egg Benedict Breakfast Pizza

The finished productOnce a month we have great friends of ours over for brunch. I am always on the hunt for a new brunch recipe. These are the kind of friends I can totally try out new recipes on. So I do, pretty much every time I cook for them. This recipe was a hit, even my husband who is really not a fan of Hollandaise really liked it. Now onto the brunch hunt for next month!

Original Recipe from Allrecipes

  •  12 eggs, well beatenThe lined crust
  •  1 tablespoon butter
  •  2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
  •  1 (.9 ounce) package hollandaise sauce mix
  •  Butter called for on Hollandaise package (I used 1/2 cup)
  •  3 cups diced cooked ham
  •  1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

1. Line crescent rolls on a pizza pan and press seams together. There should be more than enough to cover pan.

2. Make hollandaise sauce according to package directions and pour on top of prepared crescent rolls.

3. Melt butter in large saucepan and cook eggs until desired doneness, stirring to scramble as you cook. Scoop on top of hollandaise.

4. Top with cut up ham and shredded cheese.
