Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup Diced ham
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1.5 cups Shredded Swiss cheese
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust on a pie dish and press it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough. Place the dish in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the yellow onion. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, and sauté the onion for about 5-7 minutes, or until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until smooth. Add the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using), and mix well.

Step 5

Spread the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Layer the sautéed onions on top, followed by the shredded Swiss cheese.

Step 6

Slowly pour the egg mixture over the ham, onion, and cheese layers, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. To check doneness, insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
