Easy Ham and Cheese Quiche

I made this today as a test one before making another for a couple at church that had a baby. I’ve actually never eaten quiche let alone make one! I have to say it’s delish and will be making it again, and again and again. 😋 

Easy Ham and Cheese Quiche 

Serves 6

Prep time: 15 min

Cook time: 55 min

Total time: 1 hour 10 min

Ingredients

• 8 inch frozen pie crust regular or deep dish
• 5 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup ham chopped
• 1 cup mild or sharp cheddar cheese shredded
• 1/4 cup green onions chopped
• 2 tsp parsley chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Poke holes in the bottom of the frozen pie crust to prevent the crust from puffing up while baking. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden and set aside on a cooling rack. 
• While the crust is baking, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk until scrambled. 
• To the eggs, add the heavy cream, ham, cheese, parsley, green onions, salt, and pepper, then mix together until evenly combined.
• Next, place the pie crust on a small baking sheet. Spoon the egg mixture into the pie crust. 
• Cover the quiche with tented foil, ensuring the crust is covered and the egg mixture isn’t touching the foil otherwise, it sticks while baking.
• Bake the quiche in a preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the eggs are set in the middle. Finally, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to brown the top.
• Serve warm.

Notes

• You can use leftover ham or prepackaged diced ham cubes.
• You can add a little bit of cheese, parsley, and pepper on top right beore you bake it. 
• You can use other kinds of cheese like Gouda or Gruyere also.
