The other week I pulled a can of evaporated milk from the pantry and who knew that it would have something so surprising in store for me!? I made a quiche! This turned out to be a really easy recipe and I took my first swig of evaporated milk. It is one of the more disgusting things I’ve willingly taste tested, but it worked pretty magnificently for my quiche! Take a look:

I took some beautiful pictures of my quiche to commemorate my victory and then deleted them off of my camera. I find this particularly obnoxious because I actually made an entire second quiche JUST so that I could take pictures of it and it was all for not. At least I took a picture of my staged picture so that I can still kind of imagine how that probably looked on a better camera.
Ingredients:
1 unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Swiss cheese, divided
1 cup finely chopped, cooked ham
2 green onions, sliced
1 can (12 fl. oz.) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
3 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 350° F.
SPRINKLE 1/2 cup cheese, ham and green onions into pie shell. Whisk together evaporated milk, eggs, flour, salt and black pepper in large bowl. Pour mixture into pie shell; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
BAKE for 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
So easy and so good!

The face you made when you tried the canned milk is priceless. Merry Christmas!

I can’t believe you had the nerve to try the evaporated milk – I’ve never been tempted. That quiche is beautiful!
