Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Gluten-free pie crust
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the gluten-free pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and heavy cream until well combined. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the chopped green onions for 2-3 minutes until they are soft and fragrant.
Spread the cooked ham evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the sautéed green onions over the ham layer, followed by the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the pie crust, ensuring the fillings are evenly distributed.
Place the quiche on a baking sheet and carefully transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious gluten-free meal.
