1 (9 inch) frozen, (thawed), or homemade deep dish pie shell
1 cup cooked ham, cubed
1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded or cubed
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 or 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

6 large eggs
3/4 cup half-and-half

1 tsp. Creole seasoning, (for my recipe, click here)
Salt and Tabasco to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

In large skillet, saute the ham, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and jalapeno in the olive oil, for 10 minutes. Spread evenly on bottom of pie shell.

In medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, cheese, mustard, parsley, thyme and Creole seasoning. Add salt and a few shakes of Tabasco, to your taste, and mix well.

Pour over ham mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes, before cutting.
