DENVER QUICHE

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

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° 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.
