Here’s a simple recipe for a delicious creamy ham and cheese quiche:
Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pie crust in a pie dish and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
- Spread the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pie crust, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese in the pie crust.
- Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy your creamy ham and cheese quiche warm or at room temperature!
