How to Make the BEST Ham and Cheese Quiche Recipe

While quiche in general, is simple to make, it’s important that you follow the recipe closely.

• Kitchen tools you’ll need to make this simple Ham and Cheese Quiche: One sheet pan, medium bowl, measuring cups and spoons, cheese grater and whisk.
• Quiche 101. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet to make it easier to move in and out of the oven. When filled, it can be a challenge to move otherwise.
• The flavor of cheese can be adapted using your favorite flavor of cheese in the same amount. Pepper-jack cheese will lend a nice kick and likewise a Colby or mild cheddar cheese a less robust flavor. You could even pair Swiss cheese with the ham in this recipe.
• Grate your own cheese for the best flavor.
• You can go to town with fresh herbs in this quiche. Meaning, if you prefer fresh chives, thyme or tarragon you can use them but, adjust the amount depending on the potency of the flavor of the herb you use.
• I most often use a quality frozen deep dish pie crust when making quiche. There’s no need to thaw the crust, simply fill and bake.
• You can use a homemade pie crust or a refrigerated crust for quiche. If you use a homemade crust such as my Flaky Pie Crust dock the bottom with a fork, fill with pie weights and blind bake it at 375°F for 8-10 minutes prior to filling.
• The quiche filling will puff up while baking. This is normal, it will settle on it’s own as it cools. Give it ample time to cool and set before cutting.
• This quiche reheats well. You can reheat in single servings in the microwave or lay foil on top and reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or just until heated through.
• You can freeze Ham and Cheese Quiche for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat as noted above.
