Western Omelet Quiche

This colorful Western Omelet Quiche is what happens when a savory pie and a Western omelet collide. Eggs, cheese, peppers, green onion and ham all baked together with a luscious creamy custard in deep dish pie shell. Not only is this quiche easy but, it reheats beautifully, too. That could only spell deliciousness in my cookbook.
