I’m going to share the best ham and bacon quiche recipe with you. This time of year as the days are getting longer, luncheons and showers are showing up on our calendars, we need quick and easy dinners, a quiche can be just the answer.
I’m all about a short cut the older I get. Honestly, a ready made pie crust has been a tried and true short cut for me as long as I can remember. You might feel differently, but I feel like when a ready to roll out crust tastes as good as they do, that’s a time saver I’m going to take advantage of.
Here’s a quick look at what the best ham and bacon quiche has in it. You could also throw in some mushrooms, spinach or asparagus if you’re looking to add some veggie to it. Sundried tomatoes would also be yummy.
Let’s talk about my little roller. This thing is as “handy as a pocket on shirt”. That’s a direct quote from my grandmother. She was always saying the funniest, southern things. This is also my favorite brand of pie plates. I gave one to each of my girls for Christmas.
These little silicone pie crust shields are a great way to keep a crust from getting to brown, and you can adjust the size since they’re individual and not one solid piece.
Ham and Bacon Quiche
Ingredients
- 6 Pieces cooked bacon
- 1/2 C Chopped Onion
- 1 1/2 C Half and Half
- 1 C Chopped Cooked Ham
- 6 Eggs lightly beaten (or half eggs and half egg subsitute)
- 1/2 t Seasoning Salt
- 1/2 t Black Pepper
- 2 C Shredded Swiss Cheese
- 2 T AP flour
Instructions
- Saute the onions in a little of the bacon grease
- Roll out pie crust to fit pie plate. That little roller in the picture is one of my favorite little kitchen tools for pie crusts and cookies.
- Put the crust in the "pie plate" and stick in fridge while you get the rest of the ingredients ready
- Combine the eggs, seasoning salt, pepper and mix well. Add half and half and mix
- Add chopped ham, bacon and onions
- Add the flour into the cheese-do it in the bag and save yourself more clean up 😉
- Then add the cheese into the rest of the mix
- Pour into ready crust
- I always cover the edges of any kind of pie right from the beginning of the baking to keep them from browning too much. Thee little silicone pieces are absolutely AWESOME. I stumbled across them at Ross ( plug for my man's business) but I'm sure lots of kitchen stores would have them.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until center is set and a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before cutting

The 4th of July is just around the corner and that means lots of cookouts and backyard BBQ’s. There are so many fun outdoor games for July 4th, and you can order them on Amazon to get them in time. These would be fun to have set up in stations around your yard, or some of them could easily be carried to a park if you’re gathering there.
I’ve seen several of these in use at the beach as well. Big kids/young adults and even older adults sometimes enjoy having something to do when spending an entire day on the beach.
GIANT WOODEN YARD DICE – You can play two games with these giant dice. Yardzee or Yardkle. HAHAHA!
YARD DARTS – Not only are these yard darts, they glow in the dark. Now personally, by the time it gets dark during the summer we’re already in our jammies, but if you like to walk on the wild side, these are for you. LOL
YARD CONNECT FOUR – Did you have Connect Four as a kid? I did, and I loved it. I think this would be fun, and even the littles could play.
BADMINTON – This looks like such an easy way to play Badminton. This game has been around forever. This net doesn’t require spikes, and I think that would keep it from sagging.
LADDER TOSS – We bought one of these years ago for Katie’s graduation party. I had played it somewhere and it was a lot of fun. We will be pulling this out the next time we have a gathering.
HORSESHOES – I haven’t played horseshoes in years, but I used to love it. Most kids these days have probably never heard of it. Let’s bring it back.
BOCCE BALL – The only time I’ve played this was at an Italian restaurant, but it was a lot of fun.
GIANT JENGA – Not gonna’ lie, this one scares me a little. We went to a party with a reallly giant one, and I was terrified it would fall on someone. I think this one is a slightly smaller scale, so probably a lot safer.
CORN HOLE – This is a crowd pleaser, and I see a lot of people who take them (in a wagon) out on the beach to play. Little kids love playing with the bean bags for this one.
Check out this post with red, white and blue looks to go with your new outdoor games for July 4th.
Or this post has more red, white and blue all American summer style that would be fantastic for the 4th.
