Easy Ham and Cheese Quiche Recipe - great for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. Super simple to make and tastes great! Ham, swiss cheese, eggs, heavy cream, onion, garlic, and pie crust. You can make the quiche ahead of time and refrigerate and freeze for later. You may want to double the recipe – this never lasts long at our house!
Place ham and cheese in the bottom of the pie crust.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, onion powder, garlic pwoder, salt and pepper. Pour over ham and swiss.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until quiche is puffed.
Notes:
I like to sauté the cooked ham in the skillet before adding it to the pie crust. I find that some cooked ham has high water content and can make the quiche runny.
I did not thaw or precook the frozen pie crust before filling it.
You can use a store-bought pie crust or homemade pie dough. Either is just fine.
Feel free to add your favorite veggies to the quiche:
onion
bell pepper
mushrooms
broccoli
spinach
green onions
diced tomatoes
I use sharp cheddar cheese in this dish. You can use any cheese you like – swiss cheese, gouda cheese, or gruyere cheese are all delicious.
Can Homemade Quiche be made in advance? Yes! You can assemble the quiche ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight.
Can Homemade Quiche be frozen? Yes! You can make this quiche ahead of time and freeze it baked or unbaked for later.
I prefer to freeze the quiche unbaked. Assemble the quiche and place in the freezer. Once the quiche is frozen, place it in a freezer bag. When ready to bake, thaw the quiche in the refrigerator before baking as directed below.
To freeze the baked quiche, Let the quiche cool to room temperature and wrap the pie plate with plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to reheat, thaw and reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
How long will Homemade Quiche last? The quiche will keep covered in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
