Easy Ham and Swiss Cheese Quiche is a basic, yet tasty quiche recipe perfect for brunch with only 5 ingredients and 5 minutes of prep work.
This Easy Ham and Swiss Quiche has long been a fixture on my brunch menus. It is a great basic quiche recipe to keep in your arsenal of bunch day recipes. It can be whipped up in less than 5 minutes and served at pretty much any temperature. If you don’t have swiss cheese you can use any hard shredded cheese you have in your refrigerator. This recipe also reheats well for breakfast or lunch leftovers.
By using half and half, I’ve cut several calories from the quiche. If you want to save a few more, you can use a reduced fat pie crust and light swiss cheese. You can also cut 2 of the eggs and replace them with 4 egg whites. Though at less than 300 calories a slice, I say indulge!

yum, I need some easy go to recipes for after work. Since I eat all leftovers for lunch, it is good to hear it reheats well…
How many servings for that NI?
