Quiche Lorraine

• 2 cups half-and-half
• 5 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups cubed cooked ham
• 2 frozen pie crusts
• 2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a heavy glass bowl, combine the half-and-half and the eggs. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Add the salt and whisk to combine. Set aside.

Evenly distribute the ham and cheese in the pie crusts. Pour the egg mixture into the bottom of each crust. (It will not cover the ham. The eggs will expand upon cooking.) Bake the quiche until it is firm to the touch, about 45 minutes. Cool the pie for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

• Yields: 2 quiches
