ham and celery quiche

When MIL gave us several slices of ham, before we could finish eating the ham, she gave us some more. So as not to waste the earlier batch of ham and before they expired, I decided to bake a ham and celery quiche.

If you do not like celery, you can substitute with spinach.

If you intend to use spinach, you can buy cooked spinach in a can or frozen. Whichever you choose, be sure to drain the spinach before using.

INGREDIENTS


2 cups low fat milk
4 eggs (lightly beaten)
3/4 cup Bisquick pancake and baking mix
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese - I used Kraft grated parmesan cheese
1 cup celery (sliced, boiled and drained)
1 cup ham (cubed)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp bacon bits

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees celsius.

2. Lightly grease a 10" round casserole dish. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, mix the milk, eggs, baking mix, butter and parmesan cheese using a hand whisk. The batter will be lumpy.

4. Stir in the rest of the ingredients using a wooden spatula and mix well.

5. Pour into the prepared casserole dish.

6. Bake for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
