Ham and Vegetables Quiche

Anything that involves pastry is always a hit in my house 🙂 my boyfriend loves pies I cook them a lot during Winter. During Summer I change into quiches as it can be eaten hot or cold. And this way I put two passions together: pastry for the boyfriend and eggs for me… so this Ham and Vegetables Quiche is perfect for both of us!

A lot of times I make my own pastry… short crust pastry is very easy to make and anything home made is always better tasting. But sometimes we need a good shortcut when time is not on our side. So I try to always have a shop bought pack of pastry in my freezer. Makes life so much easier 🙂

And I also find quiches to be great to use all the leftovers from the fridge – I think I said this before, no? 🙂 – This time I had vegetables that needed to be used and also some ham. So let’s put it all together and create a beautiful ham and vegetables quiche… I served it with some nice fresh mozzarella seasoned with salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar… just to give it that little bit of Italian taste for the boy of the house… delicious 🙂
