- 1 lb. deli ham
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Colby jack cheese
- 4 eggs
- 8 oz. whipping cream
- 1 frozen deep dish pie crust
Lightly beat eggs and whipping cream until yolks are blended into cream; add ham and cheese and mix well.
Cover in a bowl and refrigerate overnight.
Pour into pie crust.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or lightly golden brown.
Let set up in pie crust for a minimum of 10 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
- If you're using leftover holiday ham, use 2 - 3 cups of chunked ham (or whatever you have to use up).
- If you like your eggs more set up, consider covering with foil and adding additional time to the cook time.
-
Customize this quiche to your liking: add green onions and pepper, or bacon, sausage or ham.
-
Try shelf stable whipping cream! It comes in half pint sized containers, and you can pull them out for this recipe or if you have a hankering for whipped cream for your hot chocolate. That way, you don't have to worry about it going bad in the refrigerator.
-
Be sure to use the deep dish pie crust! You will need the extra space for all the cheesy egg goodness!
