Make a satisfying ham and cheese quiche using leftover ham. This recipe creates a flaky, savory pie perfect for brunch or a holiday breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 cup cooked ham, diced
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half or milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Scatter the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  3. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the ham layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese in the pie crust.
  6. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the quiche cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can use a store-bought pie crust to save time.
  • If you do not have half-and-half, whole milk works well for a slightly lighter custard.
  • This quiche is excellent served warm or at room temperature.
