Reuben Quiche

Wow, it is been a while since I have posted anything.  Not sure if anyone is still out there reading these.  You will have to let me know!  Anyway, my sister Kim gave me a recipe that she had recently tried and no, it is not going to be in the cookbook.  I made it lastnight and I think you will like it, so I am sharing it here.

I don't know about you, but I can't get enough corned beef around St. Patrick's Day.  I am very picky, all the flavors have to be there, and they definitely are in this dish.  I love the Rye Triscuit crust...ingenous!  (Definitely use the Rye Triscuits, makes the whole dish!)  Wish I would have thought of it!!  Since it didn't make it into the book, I am sharing the recipe with you.  It came from Taste of Home!

CRUST:
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons finely crushed Rye Triscuits or other crackers

1 tablespoon rye or all-purpose flour  (I used rye flour.)
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons butter, melted

FILLING:
5 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese, divided
1 package (2-1/2 ounces) deli corned beef, cut into 2-inch strips
1/2 cup sauerkraut, well drained
4 eggs
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, flour and butter; press onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute onions in butter until tender; set aside. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over crust. Top with corned beef, sauerkraut and remaining cheese. Beat the eggs, cream, flour, mustard, salt and reserve onion mixture; pour over cheese.

Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.
