Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust

- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess crust if needed.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped basil.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading the filling evenly.
Place the quiche on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Ham and Basil Quiche warm or at room temperature!
