Welcome to StartCooking.com.

I'm Kathy Maister.

Today we're making a quiche.

It's a French egg and cheese pie.

There are three parts to this pie.

The crust, we're using the store-bought one.

The filling, cheese, ham and onions, and the custard, eggs and cream.

The ingredient and equipment list are at the end of this video.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Let's start by making the filling, which can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the fridge.

Peel and chop one medium onion and put it in a small microwave-safe dish.

Add 2 teaspoons of butter.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Microwave it on high for 1 and 1 half minutes.

Set the onions aside to cool. With a grater, shred 4 ounces of greer cheese and 4 ounces of provolone cheese.

Set that aside too. Cut 4 ounces of deli ham into 1 quarter inch bits.

Now comes the fun part. Get your

pre-made frozen pie crust out of the freezer. Divide the shredded cheese into three small

piles. Sprinkle one pile of cheese onto the bottom of the pie crust, then half the onions, and

then half the ham. Now sprinkle on one more pile of cheese, the rest of the onions and ham,

and finally top with the remaining pile of cheese.

Now we'll do the custard.

In a large mixing bowl, measure one and one-fourths cup of light cream.
