Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 Pie crust deep dish
8 oz Ham diced small
2 cup Cheddar cheese sharp, shredded
6 Eggs

Vegetables

4 Green onion thinly sliced
1/3 cup Red bell pepper finely diced
1/3 cup Green bell pepper finely diced

Dairy

2 tbsp Butter
1 cup Heavy cream

Spices

1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Onion powder
1/2 tsp Black pepper
1/4 tsp Ground mustard

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Dock the pie crust by poking holes in the bottom with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
1 Pie crust
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the diced red and green bell peppers and cook for about 5 minutes, just until softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
1/3 cup Red bell pepper, 1/3 cup Green bell pepper, 2 tbsp Butter
In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and ground mustard. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
6 Eggs, 1 cup Heavy cream, 1/2 tsp Garlic powder, 1/2 tsp Onion powder, 1/2 tsp Black pepper, 1/4 tsp Ground mustard
Stir the cooled bell peppers and sliced green onions into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
4 Green onion
Sprinkle half of the diced ham and shredded cheddar into the pre-baked pie crust. Pour in half of the egg mixture, spreading it evenly. Repeat with the remaining ham, cheese, and egg mixture.
8 oz Ham, 2 cup Cheddar cheese
Bake at 375°F for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30–40 minutes, or until the center is just set and no longer liquid.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Allowing the quiche to rest before slicing helps the custard fully set and results in clean, even slices. If the crust browns too quickly during baking, loosely tent with foil for the remaining bake time.
