12 servings
1 hour, 40 minutes total (Active 20 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 1 (12 oz) frozen deep-dish piecrust
  • 2 cups diced, cooked ham (about 8 oz)
  • 4 oz white cheddar (or Gruyère) cheese
  • 4 large eggs (or 1 cup egg substitute)
  • 1 ¾ cups half-and-half
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in medium sauté pan on medium. Chop onion finely and add to pan; cook and stir 4–5 minutes until onions are tender, then remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
    2. Place piecrust pan on baking sheet; bake 10 minutes or until sides are set. Meanwhile, chop ham finely and shred cheese. Combine eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg; whisk thoroughly. Stir in onions, cheese, and ham.
    3. Remove baking sheet from oven. Pour egg mixture into crust, filling completely (some egg mixture may be left over).
    4. Bake quiche 45–60 minutes until filling is golden and center is 160°F. Transfer quiche to cooling rack; cool 20 minutes before slicing (or chill 1 hour and serve cold). Serve.
    Chef's Tip: This recipe is a great way to use leftover ham.
