Ingredients
- 1 9-inch deep dish pie crust
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup diced cooked ham
- 1.5 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- 0.5 cup chopped green onions
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate or tart pan. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork. Line the crust with parchment paper, then fill it with pie weights or dried beans.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Allow the crust to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
Step 5
Spread the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the ham, and then evenly distribute the chopped green onions.
Step 6
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham, cheese, and onions in the crust.
Step 7
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is light golden brown. An inserted knife should come out clean.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Ham and Cheese Quiche!
