Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Pre-made pie crust
- 1.5 cups Diced ham
- 1.25 cups Shredded pepper jack cheese
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess from the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust lightly with a fork, then set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Sprinkle the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pie crust, followed by the shredded pepper jack cheese.
Step 5
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle the chopped chives over the top of the mixture for added flavor and color.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggly. The crust should be golden brown, and the top of the quiche should be slightly puffed.
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 your enchanting ham and pepper jack quiche!
