After Christmas we had so much
leftover ham. Even the smallest ham is too much for two people, so after eating
ham for some days and getting bored of it, I decided to make a quiche lorraine with
what was left and it was delicious! Next
time instead of eating it for a lot of days I will make more things with it, I
already have a few ideas.
Cheese and Christmas ham quiche Lorraine
Pastry:
300ml (160 g) flour
125 g cold butter
3 tablespoons of cold water
Filling:
200 g cheese (I used gouda)
400 g Christmas ham or normal ham
or bacon (about 4-5 slices) or maybe cooked chicken or pork
½ cup milk
½ cup cream
3 eggs
Salt and pepper
Start by preparing the pie crust.
Cut the butter in pieces. In a big bowl,
put the butter and the flour and turn it into crumbles with your finger or u
can do the same in a food processor. Add the water, wok t until it comes
together and put it in a round pie from (about 26 cm) that you have greased and
floured. You apply the dough to the pan with your hands by pressing it. Pinch
it all over with a fork and out it in the fridge for half an hour. Preheat the
oven to 225 o C/ 435o F.
Prebake your pie for ten minutes then take it out and let it cool while
you prepare the filling.
Cut the ham and the cheese into
cubes and spread them on the pie crust. In a bowl, beat the three eggs, add the
cream and the milk, salt and pepper beat a little and pour on the cheese and
ham. If you want you can put sprinkle on the top with a little grated cheese.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-40 minutes in 200 C/ 400 F. Take it out
of the oven let it rest for 5 minutes and serve.
