Uncle Bill'S Quiche Aujunbon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 whole 9 inch pie shell, unbaked (homemade or purchased)
4 large eggs
4 ounces cream cheese
1 1/4 cups half-and-half cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
4 ounces grated swiss cheese
13 ounces canned flaked ham (2 - 6 1/2 oz. cans)
1 large sweet red pepper, seeded and sliced into long thin strips, divided

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
In a medium size mixing bowl, combine eggs, cream cheese, half & half cream, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and garlic powder; mix well to blend.
Layer grated Swiss cheese over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
Layer flaked ham over Swiss cheese.
Layer 1/2 of the red pepper strips over the cheese.
Pour egg mixture over the top.
Top with remaining sweet red pepper strips, placing them diagonally (from centre to outside) in a decorative manner.
Place in oven on middle rack and bake in preheated 350 F oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until cooked through. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or a wooden skewer into the middle of the Quiche; it should come out clean.
Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
