Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust - or homemade pie crust
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup half and half - or heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups ham - cubed
  • 1 ½ cups gruyere cheese - shredded
  • 1/4 cup green onions - diced
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper - to taste

Instructions

  • Prep. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a pie dish with baking spray.
  • Prep the crust. Press a cold pie crust (either store bought or homemade) into a prepared pie dish. Slightly crimp the edges, and trim off excess dough.
    1 refrigerated pie crust
  • Prep the eggs: Whip the eggs and half and half together until very well combined.
    6 large eggs, 1 cup half and half
  • Assemble. Add half of the ham and cheese on the unbaked crust. Then add the egg mixture and the remaining ham. Top with the rest of the cheese and green onions. Add salt and pepper to taste.
    1 ½ cups ham, 1 ½ cups gruyere cheese, 1/4 cup green onions, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Bake. Place the quiche in oven and bake until inside is completely set, approximately 55 minutes. Remove from oven and let it sit for about 5-6 minutes.
  • Serve quiche. Serve quiche with a variety of sides.

Notes

  1. For a richer quiche, you can use heavy cream instead of half and half.
  2. If you are into pie crust making, use a homemade crust instead of store-bought.
  3. Substitute different meats for the ham, and different types of cheese instead of gruyere.
  4. Add veggies if so desired.
  5. You can freeze this quiche after it is cooled. Wrap tightly and place in freezer bag.
  6. Once frozen, remove to refrigerator until completely thawed out. Place in 350 oven for approximately 15-20 mites to reheat.
