Ingredients
Great Value Pie CrustHormel Natural Choice Ham, 6 ozKraft 2% Milk shredded cheddar, 1/2 cupOrganic egg, 3Horizon Organic Fat Free Milk, 1. 25 cupsYellow onion, slicedThyme, 1 tspSalt, 1 tspPepper, 1/4 tspnutmeg, 1/8 tsp
Directions
n a saute pan, add the ham and cook until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove the ham from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels, then scatter ham over the bottom of the pie crust. To the fat remaining in the pan, add the sliced onions and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft and lightly caramelized, about 6 minutes. Scatter the onions over the ham in the pie crust and top with the grated swiss cheese.

In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour the egg mixture over the ham, onions, and cheese in the pie shell, adding just enough of the egg mixture to come within 1/4-inch of the top of the shell. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the custard is set and quiche is golden brown on top. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Since pie crusts usually come in a package of two, I just double the recipe and save the other quiche for lunch later in the week.
