Make a satisfying ham and cheddar quiche using leftover ham. This recipe yields a creamy egg custard pie perfect for brunch or a holiday breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 cup diced cooked ham
  • 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 (190 degrees C).
  2. Sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese in the pie crust.
  5. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  6. 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 preparation time.
  • If you do not have half-and-half, whole milk works as a substitute.
  • For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of finely chopped onion to the ham and cheese layer.
