Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Savory Ham and Swiss Quiche, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
- 1 cup cooked ham, diced
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- If using a store-bought crust, fit it into a 9-inch pie dish and bake for about 10 minutes to set. For homemade crusts, follow your recipe instructions for pre-baking.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs and heavy cream, whisking until smooth and well-blended.
- Add the grated Swiss cheese, diced ham, green onions, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to the egg mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Carefully pour the egg and filling mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is firm and the top is golden.
- To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Allow the quiche to rest for about 10 minutes before cutting into wedges. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in sautéed mushrooms or fresh spinach.
- Swap Swiss cheese for cheddar or pepper jack for a different taste.
- For a crustless option, grease a pie dish and pour in the filling, adjusting the baking time as necessary.
