On occasion, I have a little leftover bacon and ham. When I do, I love the make this Lion House quiche Lorraine recipe. It calls for both bacon and ham, but I have made it before with just bacon and just ham.

This recipe comes from the Lion House here in Utah. I usually just use a Marie Callender’s frozen deep dish pie shell from the store to make it. If I do this, then I usually cook the shell a little longer than the 5 minutes the recipes states. Just make sure it is a little brown and puffy.

I also never use the green pepper and only use the lemon peel if I happen to have a lemon in the fridge, which I usually don’t. However, the lemon peel is a good addition and adds to the flavor. It’s great for dinner with a muffin and some fresh fruit.
