Easy Ham and Cheese Quiche is a rich and cheesy quiche that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s perfect for using up leftover Easter ham.
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.
Tastes great warm from the oven or after being chilled in the refrigerator.

for newer cooks, it would have been nice to address the “deep dish frozen pie crust”…just sayin
What exactly needs to be addressed about a “deep dish frozen pie crust”. Seems pretty self explanatory to me.
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.
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.
This quiche was a hit!!!
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.
Good and clear information and of course … quantities of filling , depending on taste .
