This recipe is best made in a food processor to achieve a very smooth consistency. The quiche is very light and fluffy in texture when served right out of the oven. It solidifies a bit more if refrigerated and reheated the next day, so it's a great make-ahead dish. We like it both ways. If you prefer, you can substitute cooked bacon or vegetables for the ham or use another type of cheese that melts well.
