Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Pie crust
• 1 cup Ham
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (e.g., Swiss, cheddar, or Gruyere)
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.

Step 3

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until fully combined.

Step 5

Spread the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the ham in an even layer.

Step 7

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
