Ham and Cheese Quiche Recipe (The Easiest)
Description
The recipe begins by preparing a pie crust, which is blind-baked to ensure a firm base for the custard filling. The filling combines diced ham and two types of grated cheese — cheddar and swiss — offering a balance of sharpness and nutty flavor. A custard mixture made from whisked eggs and heavy cream is seasoned with salt and black pepper and poured over the ham and cheese. Baking at 400°F finishes the quiche with a golden edge and a custard that holds its shape but remains tender.
This quiche can be served warm or at room temperature and pairs well with fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It offers a rich, creamy texture complemented by the savory meat and cheeses.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1 cup swiss cheese grated
- 1 cup ham diced
- 3 egg large
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper ground
Instructions
- Place a pie crust into a 9-inch wide, 2-4-inch deep pan. Trim off the extra dough from the edges.
- Cover the crust with parchment paper and top the parchment paper with rice or peas to weigh the crust down. Bake the pie crust for 25 minutes at 350°F.
- While the crust is baking, whisk the eggs and heavy whipping cream together in a medium-sized bowl. Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper.
- Fill the baked crust with the diced ham, swiss, and cheddar cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture into the crust and bake it at 400°F for about 20 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly.
