Ham and Cheese Quiche Recipe

French · Main course · 65 min total

A classic French quiche loaded with savory ham and melted cheese in a creamy egg custard, perfect for brunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp edges. Prick bottom with fork. Line with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, bake 5 more minutes until lightly golden. Cool slightly.
3. Sprinkle ham and cheese evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked crust.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips

• For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
• Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad.
