Ham And Cheese Quiche
INGREDIENTS
·
1 (9-inch) frozen ready-to-bake pie crust
(MUST be deep dish)
·
1 tablespoon butter
·
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
·
1 teaspoon minced garlic
·
4 large eggs
·
1 cup half-and-half
·
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
·
Fine sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
·
1 and 1/2 cups diced/cubed cooked ham
(leftover holiday ham or store-bought)
·
1 cup swiss cheese, freshly grated
·
1 cup cheddar cheese, freshly grated
·
Optional garnish: chopped chives, cooked and
chopped bacon
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place unwrapped frozen pie
crust on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool
slightly.
2. Add the butter to a nonstick pan and melt over
medium-high heat. Add in the diced onion and cook 3-5 minutes or until soft and
translucent. Add in the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Remove, set aside, and allow to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten.
Then whisk in the half-and-half, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to
taste.
4. Gently stir in the cubed ham and both cheeses. Stir in
the cooked onion and garlic.
5. Pour filling into the pre-baked pie crust (still on the
baking sheet) and bake on the lower oven rack for 35 to 42 minutes, or until
set and very slightly jiggly in the center.
6. Serve warm with optional garnishes as desired.
