- Beat 3 eggs and light cream together in a bowl.

- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until the top is golden and the casserole is set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier crust, consider using cold butter instead of oil in your pie crust. You can also substitute the ham with cooked bacon or cooked sausage for a different flavor profile. If you want a vegetarian version, omit the meat and add extra vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms. Adjust the seasoning to enhance the flavors, especially if serving with sides like Mini Ham Sandwiches.
Serving Suggestions
This Potato Kish pairs well with a simple green salad or some roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal. For a heartier option, serve alongside Pork Chops Ole or a slice of Crustless Quiche Lorraine(Microwave). You can also top it with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added color and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in an oven preheated to 350°F until warmed through, about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for quicker reheating but be cautious not to overheat, as it may make the crust soggy.
