Recipe: Denver Quiche (with egg noodle crust)

DENVER QUICHE

4 ounces (about 2 cups) fine egg noodles, cooked and drained
1 cup chopped green peppers
3 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon water
1 cup (4 oz.) chopped cooked lean ham
6 eggs
1 cup nonfat or low-fat (1%) milk
2 teaspoons prepared mustard

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

To form crust, press noodles over bottom and up sides of lightly greased deep 9-inch quiche dish or pie plate.

In small covered saucepan over medium heat, cook peppers and onion in water until peppers are crisp-tender. Stir in ham. Sprinkle evenly over noodle crust.

Beat together eggs, milk and mustard until thoroughly blended. Carefully pour over vegetables and ham.

Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven until puffed in center and knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
