• Vidalia Onion and Ham Quiche
• oven to 350
• Crust for a 9" round or 8x12 rectangle tart pan
• 2 Vidalia onions, halved and thinly sliced
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 lb Black Forest ham, sliced thin from the deli counter

1. Put the flour salt and in a processor and pulse to combine.
2. Add the pieces of butter and process until grainy.

9. oven to 350
10. Crust for a 9" round or 8x12 rectangle tart pan
11. Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a large shallow pan and saute the onions until they are softened and translucent. Season with salt, pepper and thyme leaves.
12. Layer all the ham slices on top of each other and roll the whole pile up tightly. Slice the roll into thin ribbons. I like to cut the ham this way so it gets incorporated throughout the quiche, and the thin ribbons complement the onion slices. Add to the onions and mix well.
13. In the bowl of a food processor put the eggs, cream, Marscapone and Parmesan cheeses. Whirl until thoroughly blended.
14. Distribute the onion and ham mixture evenly onto the dough in your quiche pan.
15. Pour the custard mix evenly over the top. Use as much of the custard as necessary to fill but not overfill your pan.
16. Bake for about 45-50 minutes until the quiche is browned and set and a toothpick comes out cl
