In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and the heavy cream until well combined.
Season the egg mixture with salt and black pepper.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, cooked ham, and sliced green onions until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it out evenly.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
