Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup diced ham
- 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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges and trimming the excess. Prick the bottom lightly with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Blind bake the pie crust: Line the crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until fully combined.
Evenly spread the diced ham and shredded Swiss cheese over the bottom of the baked pie crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top. To check if it’s done, insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
