- Dash of pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground dry mustard
- 2 green onions chopped
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss the 1 tablespoon flour with the 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese. Evenly spread the cheese over the bottom of the unbaked pie crust. Top the cheese with the 1/2 cup cooked ham (diced).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1 cup Half and Half, 1/4 teaspoon salt, Dash of pepper and 1/4 teaspoon ground dry mustard. Stir in the 2 green onions. Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
- Pie Crust Options: A store-bought 9-inch unbaked pie crust works perfectly and saves lots of time, but you can use homemade if you prefer. If you choose to make your own, I suggest my recipe for Grandma’s Secret Pie Crust.
- Cheese Choices: Feel free to use any cheese you love—Swiss, Gruyère, mozzarella, or a cheese blend all work well.
- Half and Half Substitutions: You can substitute whole milk or a mix of milk and cream if you don’t have Half and Half, or it’s not available where you live.
Recipe Tips
- Toss the cheese and flour together: This helps keep the cheese from sinking to the bottom of the quiche and keeps it evenly distributed throughout the filling.
- Really whisk those eggs! A well-whisked egg mixture helps create a smooth, custardy texture when baked.
- Freeze before baking – When making ahead, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and foil. Freezing before baking keeps the crust crisp and prevents sogginess.
- Checking for doneness: The quiche is done when the center is set and no longer jiggles. You can also insert a sharp knife in the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
- Let it rest: Allow the quiche to sit for 5–10 minutes after baking so it sets up fully and slices cleanly.
- When reheating a whole baked quiche from the fridge or freezer, cover the crust edges with foil to prevent over-browning.
Storage and Reheating
Obviously this quiche is meant to be made ahead and stored in the freezer until it’s time to bake. To store leftovers after baking, let the quiche cool completely then transfer slices to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
For best results, cover loosely with foil and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15–20 minutes, or until heated through. To reheat in the microwave, Place a slice on a microwave-safe plate and heat on medium power in 30-second intervals until warmed through. This method is quick, but may soften the crust.
Variations & Fun Twists
- Veggie Lovers Quiche: Add sautéed spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, or broccoli for extra color and nutrition. Cook and drain the veggies well before adding them to avoid excess moisture.
- Cheesy Variations: Swap in Swiss, Gruyère, feta, or pepper jack for a fun twist. Mixing a sharp cheese with a melty one adds great flavor!
- Low Carb: For a lower-carb version, skip the crust and pour the filling into a greased pie pan or muffin tin for mini crustless quiches.
- Swap the Protein: Replace the ham with cooked bacon or cooked crumbled sausage.
