So, have you made some plans for Mothers Day yet? Planning to make dear old Mom breakfast in bed, rub her feet, sing her a tune or two? Boy, that’s really nice of you. I bet she will love it.

Perhaps you are meeting with extended family members or friends to celebrate over a lovely brunch. If that’s the case, please notice that under my header I have categorized my best Spring Brunch recipes all together in one place. You can also access it by clicking here.

This simple Ham and Quiche would make a great addition to your Mothers Day breakfast or brunch menu. It comes together easily with very little prep time needed (if you buy a pre-made pastry crust, that is.) It’s flavorful, hearty and is made with simple ingredients.

I love it. I bet your Mom will love it. I bet your Mom’s Mom and your Cousins Uncle will love it, too.

***NOTE:For this recipe I used a pre-made, purchased, I am not a pioneer, sometimes I need to save time, pastry crust. If you would like to make your own, I hope you will! My hats are off to ya. You can find a great recipe by clicking here.

1 (9 inch, deep dish) pastry crust

4 eggs

2 C half and half

1/4 t salt

1/4 t pepper

1/4 t smoked paprika

1 C cheddar cheese, grated

1/3 C green onion

3/4 C diced ham

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Crack 4 eggs into a medium sized mixing bowl. Beat them well with a fork.

2. Add 2 cups half and half,

a 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika. Stir all of the ingredients together well. I like to use a fork.

3. If you are using a pre-made pie crust, it’s a good idea to put it (baking tin and all) inside a pie plate. That way if the filling comes over the edge a bit, you won’t have a mess on the floor. Place 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese in the bottom of your unbaked pie crust.
