🛒 What You’ll Need
🥧 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
🥚 6 large eggs
🥛 1 cup milk
🥓 1 cup diced cooked ham
🫑 ½ cup diced green bell pepper
🧅 ½ cup finely diced onion
🧀 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
🌶️ ¼ teaspoon black pepper
🌿 ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
👩🍳 How to Make It
🔥 Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
🫑🧅 Sauté the vegetables:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced onion and bell pepper for about 4–5 minutes, until slightly softened. Let them cool for a few minutes.
🥧 Build the crust:
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Sprinkle the diced ham, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheddar evenly over the crust.
🥚 Make the filling:
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
🧀 Pour it in:
Slowly pour the egg mixture over the ham, peppers, onions, and cheese.
🔥 Bake:
Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.
⏰ Let it rest:
Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps everything set up beautifully.
💡 A Little Tip
If the crust edges start browning too quickly, loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil while the center finishes baking.
And don’t skip the short resting time—it makes slicing much easier and keeps that delicious filling from falling apart. 😉
✨ Want to Make It Your Own?
🌶️ Add diced jalapeños for a little heat.
🥓 Swap the ham for cooked bacon or sausage.
🧀 Try Monterey Jack, Swiss, or pepper Jack instead of cheddar.
🍄 Toss in a handful of sliced mushrooms.
🥬 Add a little chopped spinach for extra vegetables.
