Tortilla Quiche

I was thinking about making a quiche with some ham I have, but don't feel like making the pie crust. This recipe uses flour tortillas for the crust, lower in calories, and less work. If you have some half and half instead of the milk, that would be nice.

Tortilla Quiche

2 - 3 flour tortillas
Ham, sliced thin, or minced
Grated cheese
1/4 cup sliced onions
2 - 3 mushrooms, sliced
1 - 2 tbsp butter
1 3 1/4 oz can B in B mushrooms
2 eggs
Milk

Sauté the onions and mushrooms in the butter until transparent. Grease a pie plate and lap the tortillas in it line completely. Top with ham, cheese, mushrooms, and onion. Combine egg with 1/2 cup milk. Pour over filling and add milk to fill. Bake 40 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees until done.


Here's a rum raisin sauce for ham that might be interesting. Heck, don't bother with the ham, just leave out the mustard, and eat it with a spoon.

Rum Raisin Sauce for Ham

1 cup dark raisins
1 cup Bacardi amber rum, 80 proof
5 to 7 pound partially or fully cooked ham with bone
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 cups apple cider (or apple juice)
1/2 cup rum

Soak raisins in 1 cup rum for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place ham, fat side up, in a roasting pan. Score fat in a diamond pattern, cutting at 1 inch intervals. Rub ham with mustard and pat with brown sugar. Add raisin/rum mixture and apple cider to the bottom of the pan. Bake 1 1/2 hours, basting every 20 minutes. Remove ham and skim fat from pan juices. Pour juices into a sauce pan and cover over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup rum and heat. Pour into sauce boat.

I've got a ripe mango, and some dried cherries, and I'm thinking of adapting the sauce recipe to use with a roast pork loin. What do you think?

I've copied the quiche recipe. Sounds yum & easy.

You can do the same thing with a cheap frozen pizza.

I can hardly ever get rum raisin ice cream but I love it. This would be so
good over ice cream sans mustard.

It sure would. I wish I had some raisins here right now.

The quiche turned out really good - for regular family meals I think prefer this crust to real pie crust. Mission brand tortillas has an artisan line so my tortilla quiche crust could contain blue corn and flax seed.
