salt and pepper
1 cup diced ham
1 1/2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
5 large eggs lightly beaten
1 cup half-and-half

Add onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add collard greens and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.

Combine collard green mixture, ham, and cheese in the pie crust.
