Ham and Salted Herb Quiche

This ham quiche is a real treat for kids, but also for adults! It’s a recipe that can be easily modified by adding vegetables, but at our house, the kids prefer to eat their vegetables on the side and since they don’t like onions, the recipe doesn’t include any. Be careful not to use ham that’s too salty; if it is, reduce the amount of salted herbs slightly.
