Cream Cheese and Clam Quiche

January 15, 2018 by mgrc Leave a Comment

Clams, cream cheese, bacon, and swiss cheese meld together to make an inviting quiche that might be served as a main dish or as a first course. Garnish with chopped chives.

You do have to make the pastry for this, although a store-bought pie shell could be substituted, if desired.

Preheat the oven to 350. You will turn it down to 350 to actually bake the quiche.

1 9-inch quiche pan gives 4-6 servings.
