Skinkpaj.

Translation...Swedish Quiche. A perfect solution for a Monday night. Soccer and dance were the order of the night. Me driving to soccer, Andy to dance. I found this recipe on Food.com and it sounded yummy. One mention of Gruyere cheese and I'm sold. It called for Herrgrdost, a semi-hard yellow cheese, but quickly added that you could replace with Gruyere. It was different than my normal quiche that I served up in France. This called for egg yolks and sour cream. So healthy!  It did the trick. Dinner was made, though it took longer than we anticipated, as it only called for baking 20 minutes. Add another 20 minutes and and dinner was served. And today is Tuesday which means Monday doesn't come around again for 6 days.
