Ham and Swiss Quiches

What an easy meal to make for breakfast, in face make a few extra so you have leftovers for breakfast the next morning.  You can also easily make these ahead, refrigerate or freeze them and then reheat them in a 200 degree oven - simple and easy!

Recipe makes 8 mini-quiches

1 whole package pre-made pie dough

3 cups diced ham

2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

2/3 cup half & half

4 eggs

1 tbsp. Dijon mustard

salt & pepper to taste

1/4 c. chives - chopped

Unroll one of the dough rounds and using a rolling pin, lightly roll out the round to accomodate four bottom crust cut-outs.  Then use your personal pie maker cutter to cut out four bottom rounds.  Set aside.

Beat together half & half, eggs, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper AND chives until eggs are well combined.  

Preheat your Breville personal pie maker and place a bottom crust round into each section using the stamper to make sure the crust is pressed into the form.  Working quickly, place 1/4 c. ham into each pie, then top with 2 tbsp. Swiss cheese and then finish it off by pouring the egg/half & half mixture into pie until it almost reaches the top.  Close top making sure it latches closed - cook for 8 minutes.  Remove pies gently using a butter knife or icing spatula.  Allow to rest for 5 minutes to set - then serve.
