Swiss cheese and ham quiche Recipe

French · Main course · 65 min total

A classic French-inspired quiche filled with savory ham and nutty Swiss cheese in a creamy egg custard, perfect for brunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 cup diced cooked ham (about 5 oz)
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (about 4 oz)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate, crimp edges, and prick bottom with a fork. Line with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove weights and parchment and bake 5 more minutes until lightly golden. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, toss diced ham and shredded Swiss cheese together. Sprinkle evenly over the pre-baked crust.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese in the crust. Gently shake to distribute evenly.
5. Place quiche on a baking sheet (to catch drips) and bake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, until the center is just set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
6. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, brush the pre-baked crust with a beaten egg white before adding filling.
• Leftover quiche can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a 350°F oven.
• Substitute ham with cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms for variation.
