  • 4 green onion thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 4 oz smoked ham chopped and divided
  • 1 1/2 cup colby jack or cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground mustard

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prick the bottom of a frozen pie shell using a fork. Bake for 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a small skillet melt the butter. Cook the sliced green onion, green pepper and red pepper until softened around 2-3 minutes.
  • Layer 1/2 of the ham and 1/2 of the shredded cheese on the bottom of the par baked pie shell.
  • Whisk together the heavy cream, eggs and seasonings until fully combined. Add the cooked vegetables to the custard.
  • Pour 1/2 over the first layer of ham and cheese then repeat ham, cheese and custard.
  • Place onto a baking sheet and place into the oven. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to cook for an additional 30-40 minutes.
  • Rest on a cooling rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can use a refrigerated pie crust, a frozen premade pie crust or a homemade pie crust for this recipe.
  • When using a homemade pie crust, dock the bottom with a fork and blind bake with pie weights for 8 minutes then proceed with the recipe. 
  • There's no need to thaw a frozen pie crust prior to filling and baking.
