Any-Kind-Of-Quiche

Crust:
4 oz. cream cheese (1/2 block of Philadelphia Cream Cheese)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups flour

For crust, mix all ingredients in food processor until dough just forms a soft ball.  Press into a 12 inch quiche dish.  Chill while preparing filling.

Filling:

5 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups half and half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

3/4 cups chopped broccoli or asparagus (slightly pre-cooked)
1 cup chopped ham or shrimp.
2 cups grated swiss cheese (I like the combination of swiss/gruyere)

Layer vegetables, meat/seafood, cheese over cold crust.

Mix eggs with half and half and add seasonings.  Pour over all.

Bake at 375 degrees for 40 - 50 minutes or until set.  Put knife into center of quiche and if it comes out clean it is done.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. 

**Be creative with the vegetables, meat/seafood and cheese.  Spinach, italian sausage, cheddar/mozzarella; zucchini, onion, diced tomatoes, monterey jack cheese, crabmeat, mushrooms, and on and on. 

Delicious served with a spring salad mix and simple vinaigrette.
