Make this simple, satisfying ham and cheddar quiche using leftover ham. It creates a flaky, savory 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Sprinkle the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  3. Distribute 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 on prep.
  • If you do not have cheddar, Swiss or Gruyere cheese works well in this recipe.
  • This quiche reheats well; cover loosely with foil and warm in a 350 degree oven until heated through.
