Ingredients

• 1 Pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup Country ham
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing firmly against the sides. Trim any excess dough and set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the country ham for 2-3 minutes if desired, to enhance the flavor. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and cooked ham evenly across the bottom of the pie crust. Add optional chopped green onions, if using.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well blended.

Step 6

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg for seasoning.

Step 7

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese and ham in the pie crust, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the quiche on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
