Ingredients

• 1 9-inch deep dish pie crust
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 1.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese
• 0.5 cup chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate or tart pan. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork. Line the crust with parchment paper, then fill it with pie weights or dried beans.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Allow the crust to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the ham, and then evenly distribute the chopped green onions.

Step 6

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham, cheese, and onions in the crust.

Step 7

Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is light golden brown. An inserted knife should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Ham and Cheese Quiche!
