Ham and Cheese Quiche

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Serving Size 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 prepared pie crust unbaked
  • 1 - 1½ cups ham cubed
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese shredded
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup half and half or milk
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp dried minced onion

Instructions

  • Preheat and Prep Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place your prepared pie crust into your pie dish. There is no need to pre-bake the crust; it will bake perfectly along with the filling.
  • Layer the Fillings Distribute the cubed ham evenly across the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the sharp cheddar and Swiss cheese over the ham, reserving a small pinch of each to sprinkle on top later.
  • Mix the Custard In a medium bowl, whisk the 4 eggs (a fork works great for this). Pour in the half and half, then add the salt and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.
  • Assemble Pour the egg mixture directly over the ham and cheese in the crust. The liquid will fill in the gaps. Sprinkle the dried minced onion evenly over the top, followed by the reserved cheese for a nice golden finish.
  • Bake Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The quiche should be puffed up and set.
  • Cool and Serve Remove from the oven and let the quiche rest for about 5 minutes. This allows it to set slightly for easier slicing. Cut into wedges and serve warm!
