Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1 cup cooked ham diced
- 2 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter for greasing the dish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 9-inch pie plate or quiche dish with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and 1 cup of heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Stir in the diced ham, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese (reserving the other 1/2 cup for the topping), chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Pour the egg mixture carefully into the prepared pie plate.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the quiche.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is just set (it should not jiggle) and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
- Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows it to set up properly.
Notes
