Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Pie crust
- 1 cup Ham
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (e.g., Swiss, cheddar, or Gruyere)
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until fully combined.
Spread the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the ham in an even layer.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
