  3. Layer grated Swiss cheese over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
  4. Layer flaked ham over Swiss cheese.
  5. Layer 1/2 of the red pepper strips over the cheese.
  6. Pour egg mixture over the top.
  7. Top with remaining sweet red pepper strips, placing them diagonally (from centre to outside) in a decorative manner.
  8. Place in oven on middle rack and bake in preheated 350 F oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until cooked through. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or a wooden skewer into the middle of the Quiche; it should come out clean.
