Ham 'n' Cheese Pie

Do you remember the days of the "impossible pie" recipes on the back of the Bisquick boxes? Goodness, these go back a long way! Well, I found this recipe in a Taste of Home cookbook and decided to give it a try since I hadn't made an "impossible pie" in years. The combination of cheeses, ham and bacon are traditional in quiche and taste great for brunch, lunch or dinner. In the "impossible pie" recipes there are no crusts. The custard is formed by the combination of Bisquick, eggs and milk. So easy, and very tasty! I was curious to go to the Bisquick website to see if there were any of these kinds of recipes posted and there are. If you might be interested in checking out the site it is http://www.bisquick.com Blessings...

Recipe:

1 cup diced fully cooked ham
3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
5 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 tbsp. chopped onion
3 tbsp. chopped green pepper
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup biscuit/baking mix such as Bisquick
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

1. In a greased 10-inch quiche dish or pie plate (see note), layer ham, Swiss cheese, bacon, cheddar cheese, onion and green pepper.
2. Place the remaining ingredients in a blender in the order given; blend for 30-40 seconds. Pour over meat and cheese; do not stir.
3. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Yield: 6-8 servings
Note: I baked the pie in a 10-inch quiche dish and it was incredibly thin, as you can see in the picture. In the future I will use a 9-inch pie plate. Since the pie will be thicker it might need a few more minutes of baking time.
