Ham and Cheese Quiche

 

We really enjoy a nice relaxed brunch especially  on the weekend. We love a good quiche to serve for our breakfast, lunch or dinner. This is one of my basic go-to quiche recipes. It is so versatile that I can add different herbs and meats as the seasons change. Our Ham and Cheese Quiche is just a great recipe to have on hand. It is easy, limited ingredients, and no waiting, just bake in the oven and it is ready to serve. Hope you enjoy the recipe as much as we do!

How To Make Ham and Cheese Quiche

We are starting with a 9 inch unbaked pie crust.

In a mixing pitcher, whisk together the eggs, fresh parsley, fresh thyme, flour, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.

Sprinkle the cooked chopped ham and shallots on the bottom

 of the uncooked pie crust.

Whisk in the half-and-half with the egg mixture.

Sprinkle the cheese mixture on top of the

 chopped ham and shallot.

Very carefully pour the half and half mixture

 over the ham and cheese.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 40 minutes 

or until the center is set. I like to use a crust protector, 

so my crust doesn't burn until the center is set.

Let the quiche cool on a cooling rack for

 at least 30 minutes before slicing to serve.

Garnish with fresh parsley and fresh thyme for serving.
