Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup Country ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing firmly against the sides. Trim any excess dough and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the country ham for 2-3 minutes if desired, to enhance the flavor. Set aside to cool slightly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and cooked ham evenly across the bottom of the pie crust. Add optional chopped green onions, if using.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well blended.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg for seasoning.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese and ham in the pie crust, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
