Easter Meal Made Easy

Kids love Easter for all of the candy, egg hunts and games. Parents enjoy the big meal that always follows the Easter Egg Hunt. It would not be Easter at the Ross house without a Schwab’s spiral sliced ham, chive and cheddar biscuits, quiche, creamed corn and sweet potatoes.  The best part is that your spiral sliced ham will provide you with many meals for leftover too! No need to work for hours in the kitchen if you have a Schwab’s ham on the table! Just warm and enjoy!

So, today I am sharing 2 easy recipes that will make any Easter table proud!

Ham and Cheese Biscuits
2 cups all purpose baking mix (like Bisquick)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup Sprite or Ginger Ale
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup minced Schwab’s ham, lightly browned
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
2 tbsp. fresh chives, chopped
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pour the melted butter into the bottom of a 9×9 baking pan. Stir together the all purpose baking mix, sour cream, and sprite till it forms a sticky ball. Stir in the minced ham, cheddar cheese and chives.  Sprinkle your countertop with additional baking mix. Pat out dough to about  3/4 inch thick. Using a glass or biscuit cutter cut biscuit and place in baking pan side by side.  Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

quiche

Springtime Quiche

7 large eggs
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked fresh pepper
1 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped
1 cup Schwab’s ham steak, cubed and chopped
1 cup swiss cheese, grated
1/2 cup onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced thin
1 prepared pie crust
9 inch deep dish pie pan

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Press the pie crust into the bottom up the sides of the pie pan or quiche pan. Place in the freezer to stay cool while preparing the filling. In a large sauté pan cook the shopped ham till browned lightly. Remove the ham and then sauté the broccoli and ham. Use 3 tablespoons of water to help deglaze the pan and then place the lid on sauté pan for 2 minutes to soften the broccoli. Remove from the pan. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, whipping cream, salt and pepper. Add in the swiss cheese, ham, broccoli and onions. Stir together. Pour into prepared pie crust. Place on a baking sheet. Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Bake until cooked through. Remove from oven and allow it cool before serving.
