INGREDIENT NOTES
- Eggs – You’ll need 6 large eggs for this recipe.
- Ham – Diced ham or chunks of ham work. Feel free to use turkey instead.
- Cheese – I really like gruyere cheese for this recipe but you can use any type of cheese you prefer. Cheddar and swiss are great choices.
- Half and Half – If you don’t have half and half on hand, feel free to use heavy cream.
- Oil – You’ll need melted butter, oil, or nonstick spray to grease your baking dish.
- Salt – I recommend Kosher salt.
TOP TIPS
- Make sure to grease your baking dish generously so the quiche doesn’t stick. Grease the sides of your dish as well.
- To ensure a soft and creamy texture, be careful not to overbake the quiche.
- Feel free to include spinach, peppers, mushrooms, etc.
HOW LONG DO I BAKE IT FOR?
I baked it for exactly 45 minutes at 350 degrees F but keep in mind that every oven is different. Bake your quiche until the center is just about set. I would start checking it at the 40-minute mark.
STORAGE
You can enjoy this quiche warm or at room temperature. However, if you have any leftovers, allow them to cool completely, transfer to an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
