Ham and Cheese Biscuit Quiche
Ham & Cheese Biscuit Quiche is great for leftover ham
Easter is coming up. If you are like me, you will probably have some leftover ham. This Ham & Cheese Biscuit Quiche is perfect for leftover ham!! OMG! Homemade biscuits topped with ham, cheese, and a creamy egg mixture. Seriously the best!
How to Make Quiche
Quiche is actually very easy to make. Don’t be intimidated by making the homemade biscuit crust. It is incredibly simple to make. It also tastes great! I like it 1000% more than regular pie crust! This quiche is like eating a yummy ham & cheese biscuit.
A quick tip about making this quiche. I like to sauté the ham in the skillet to remove as much moisture as possible. Sometimes ham can be really watery. It will make the quiche watery too. Cooking it in the skillet for about 5 minutes before baking will make a big difference. This also goes for any additions you might make that have high water content. Mushrooms, spinach, or tomatoes will need to be cooked first so that some of the water can cook off before being added to the quiche. There is nothing worse than a watery quiche!
This Ham & Cheese Biscuit Quiche is made in a deep dish 10-inch quiche pan. It is kind of like a cake pan. I got my quiche pan at Target. They also sell them at Williams-Sonoma, Sur La Table, and Amazon.
Can Quiche be Made Ahead of Time and Frozen?
Absolutely! You can make this quiche in advance and freeze it for a quick meal later. I love having freezer meals ready in the freezer. When reheating this Ham & Cheese Biscuit Quiche, I suggest thawing first and reheating in the microwave. It can dry out in the oven.

Can you make it lazy with canned biscuits? Looks so yummy
I have only made this as written above.
This looks fantastic! Should I use thicker ham slices or diced ham? I’ll be making this soon!
I usually use diced ham, but either is just fine.
quiche is literally my favorite breakfast – i make one on the weekend and eat it all week!
That would be perfect! Slice it into individual slices and freeze! Great Grab & Go breakfast!
Looks delicious and I love the idea of biscuit dough for the crust.
