I debated back and forth with what I wanted to do with the electric stove that was left with the kitchen before we renovated it. Ultimately I decided I wanted to leave it in the basement for extra oven space during holidays. It was was definitely going to be put to good use over the weekend. I planned on cooking the hams in it so I would have adequate space in my kitchen oven for the potatoes, rolls, etc.
Leftover Ham Recipe
At around 3pm I went to preheat the oven for the hams and realized the cord was missing?! We aren’t sure where it got lost and the closest hardware store was over 20 miles away. Needless to say, I didn’t get to use my second oven this weekend. I re-strategized and just decided to bake the rolls early that had risen quicker than expected. That freed up the necessary oven space for the rest of the sides.
A crisis was averted and we enjoyed a delicious ham dinner. I made 20 lbs of ham because my dad had requested plenty of leftovers in advance. Well, with only 16 people, we had more than enough leftovers for everyone! The leftover ham got put to good use for brunch the next morning with this Ham and Asparagus Quiche. I brought it to my Mom’s house and we enjoyed it for lunch.
Ham and Asparagus Quiche
I haven’t made a quiche in a VERY long time, so I referenced The Kitchn’s advice for the perfect egg to cream ration. I have to say that I agree completely with their suggestion and the custard turned out so luscious and creamy. Paired with this flaky pie crust recipe, it was perfection!
Some people have commented that this Ham and Asparagus Quiche recipe is too rich, so I just want to be abundantly clear that this is a decadent recipe. If you aren’t worried about counting calories or fat, there is no such thing as too rich in my opinion!
