Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb ham, cut up (1 cup)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 dash nutmeg
  • 1 dash cayenne or 1 dash red pepper
  • 1 cup grated swiss cheese or 1 cup gruyere cheese
  • 1 frozen pie crust

Method

  • Preheat oven at 350°F.
  • Precook pie crust 10-15 minutes.
  • Cover bottom of crust with meat, and onions and peppers sauteed in butter.
  • Sprinkle cheese over evenly.
  • Beat eggs, add cream, nutmeg and cayenne pepper.
  • Pour mixture over meat evenly.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes.
  • Let set a few minutes before cutting.
  • VIOLA.
  • I have substituted with crab, shrimp and scallops instead of the ham, with 1/4 tsp salt, and this too is a winner.
