I used to always make this recipe with the Bisquick crust as the recipes calls for, and the flavor is excellent. I guess I am getting lazy in my old age, but I will probably buy a pie crust when I make it after Christmas. It is a perfect way to use up some of the ham after Christmas dinner!
Crust:
1 cup Bisquick
1/4 cup light cream
Filling:
1/2 pound ham, diced (or 1/2 pound bacon crisply fried and crumbled)
1 cup (4 oz) shredded Swiss cheese
1/3 cup onion, chopped
4 eggs
2 cups whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Stir Bisquick and 1/2 cream to a soft dough. Gently smooth dough into a ball on a floured cloth-covered board. Knead 5 times. Roll dough 2 inches larger than inverted 9″ pie pan. Ease into pan and flute edge.
Sprinkle ham, cheese, and onion in crust.
Beat remaining ingredients until blended. Pour over ham mixture.
Cover edge with 2-3″ strip aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove foil last 15 minutes of baking. Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees.
Reduce oven to 300. Bake 35 minutes or until knife inserted 1 inch comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
