Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch deep dish pie crust
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup diced cooked ham
- 1.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- 0.5 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate or tart pan. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork. Line the crust with parchment paper, then fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Allow the crust to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Spread the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the ham, and then evenly distribute the chopped green onions.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham, cheese, and onions in the crust.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is light golden brown. An inserted knife should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Ham and Cheese Quiche!
