Savory Leek & Ham Quiche

This recipe was sent to me by Laurie Charley. She found this recipe online and changed it up a bit to her liking (this is the changed version). When she was Relief Society President she had a Birthday bash every other month to celebrate those sisters who had birthdays in those months. It was on Saturday and brunch was served. This recipe went over so well, the sisters started spreading the word, and many were looking forward to their birthday month so they could try it.

SAVORY LEEK & HAM QUICHE
1 Tbsp. oil
2 leeks halved lengthwise, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
3/4 cup chopped OSCAR MAYER Smoked Ham
1 ready-to-use refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of 15-oz. pkg.)
1 cup cheddar cheese
6 eggs
1-1/2 cups half-and-half
PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add leeks; cook and stir 8 to 10 min. or until tender. Stir in ham.
