Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust Ingredients
  • 1 sheet Pie Crust Store-bought or homemade
Filling Ingredients
  • 6 large Eggs Use large eggs for best results
  • 1 cup Milk or Cream Can substitute with half-and-half or plant-based milk
  • 1 cup Diced Ham Leftover ham or turkey can be used
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese Cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère work well
  • 1 tsp Salt Adjust according to taste
  • 1 tsp Pepper Adjust according to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the pie crust and place it in a pie dish, crimping the edges.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Assembly
  1. Scatter the diced ham evenly on the bottom of the crust, followed by a generous layer of shredded cheese.
  2. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese, making sure it fills the crust evenly.
Cooking
  1. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape.

Notes

For a crispy crust, consider blind baking the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling. Use fresh herbs for added flavor, and avoid overmixing the egg mixture. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
