Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust

- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
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 dish and crimping the edges as desired.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and onion powder (if using). Set aside.
Spread the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese over the ham.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
