This is a savoury tart that is wonderful served for brunch or Sunday breakfast. I like to serve this with fresh fruit slices. I use a refrigerated pie crust but you could certainly sub in your own pie shell. Ingredients:

3 eggs |
8 ounces sour cream |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
8 ounces shredded swiss cheese |
8 pecan halves, if desired |

1. Heat oven to 450.
2. Place pie crust in 10 inch tart pan with removable bottom.
3. Press in bottom and up sides of pan.
4. Trim edges.
5. DO NOT PRICK CRUST.
6. Bake at 450 for 9 to 10 minutes or until crust is light golden brown.
7. Remove from oven.
8. Reduce heat to 400.
9. In medium bowl, combine ham ,wild rice, bell pepper, onions and mushrooms; mix well.
10. Beat eggs in small bowl until well blended.
11. Add sour cream, mustard, salt and pepper; blend well.
12. Sprinkle 1 cup cheese over bottom of baked crust.
