I love making quiches. They are versatile, so easy to make, and great for using up leftovers.

If you find yourself with leftover holiday ham, this quiche takes just minutes to prep. I use a frozen pie shell to save time and make a quick pie filling with a little onion, some eggs, half-and-half, cheddar cheese, swiss cheese, and ham. You could use bacon instead of ham if you wanted to.

Pour the filling into the pie crust, pop it in the oven and 45 minutes later your quiche is ready.

  1. Pretty darn good and really easy. Let me first say that I hate it when people make something but change 75% of the recipe then turn around and rate it and correct the author. I made changes out of sheer 4 a.m. necessity. I had only white onion. I had no heavy cream so I mixed ¼ cup sour cream and ¾ cup whole milk. I used a larger pie dish so I added an egg. All in all it turned out pretty tasty. The milk/sour cream mixture gave it the consistency of heavy cream and leant a nice flavor. I prefer yellow onions but the white was fine. I’m glad I didn’t add two eggs. I would make it again! Very simple and accurate recipe.

  3. Delicious!! I do add chicken bouillon (better than bouillon chicken base) to the recipe and garlic powder to bring it a little more to the top 😉. It comes out super good, especially with a home made crust!

  4. for newer cooks, it would have been nice to address the “deep dish frozen pie crust”…just sayin

  5. LOVE! I used 3/4c heavy cream and 2c smoked
    gouda! Delicious!
    Use this recipe as a framework and add whatever you want to your quiche! Great recipe.

  6. This is a delicious quiche. It’s my family’s favorite. I made it with light cream, leftover ham from Burger’s Smokehouse, gruyere and sharp cheddar. My family loves it.

  7. Easy recipe. Definitely did not cook within 45 minutes at 375. Mine was liquid in the center so it had to keep going for another 20-30 minutes, slightly burnt on top.
