You'll need

Items needed to answer the question, bake a savory ham and cheese quiche. Items include:  Premade Pie Dough  Diced Ham  Shredded Cheese  Large Eggs  Heavy Cream
  • Premade Pie Dough 1 sheet
  • Diced Ham 1 cup
  • Shredded Cheese 1 cup
  • Large Eggs 4
  • Heavy Cream 1.5 cups (360 ml)

Take note
Be cautious when handling hot pans and oven temperatures. Make sure to let the quiche cool for a bit before slicing.

1

Prep the Crust

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take out a nine-inch (23 cm) pie dish and coat it lightly with oil or baking spray. Next, prepare the crust by rolling out your premade pie dough and placing it into the pie dish. Press it gently against the sides and bottom to create an even layer.

2

Layer the Ham and Cheese

Spread a generous layer of diced ham evenly over the crust. Sprinkle your favorite shredded cheese on top of the ham. You can use Swiss, cheddar, or a combination of cheeses. Get creative with it!

3

Mix the Custard

In a mixing bowl, crack four large eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Pour in one and a half cups (360 ml) of heavy cream and continue whisking. Season the custard with salt, pepper, and any desired herbs or spices. Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or a sprinkle of thyme for extra flavor.

4

Bake to Perfection

Carefully pour the custard mixture into the pie dish, ensuring it covers all the ham and cheese. Gently shake the dish to evenly distribute the custard. Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.

5

Enjoy the Quiche Delight

Once the quiche is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This allows the custard to set and makes it easier to slice. Serve warm or at room temperature, and relish each mouthful of creamy goodness. Brunch will never be the same again!
