tep-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges for a clean finish, then prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and sour cream until smooth.
- Add the cheese and ham: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, chopped green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using).
- Assemble the quiche: Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Bake the quiche: Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
