Gruyere Ham Quiche
This quiche is delicious and elegant and oh so chic! It's the perfect main course for Sunday brunch or as a light and easy summertime supper. The crust is enriched with All-Bran® cereal for a nutty, slightly sweet taste - a perfect counterbalance to the classic filling of savory ham and imported Gruyere. So good, you won't want to save it just for guests!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cups Kellogg's® All-Bran® Original cereal
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (4 oz.)
