Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 5 eggs (large or extra large, beaten)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • ¼ teaspoon hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Worcheshire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 ° F.
  • Spray a nine-inch pie plate generously with non-stick cooking spray or grease it with butter. Set aside.
  • Add the butter to a small skillet over medium heat and saute the ham for two to three minutes. Set aside.
  • Add half of the ham and grated cheese to the bottom of the pie plate and spread out evenly.
  • Add the eggs, cream, chives, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dry mustard, and ground black pepper to a medium-size bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Slowly pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese mixture and top with the other half of the ham and grated cheese.
  • Place the pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until an instant-read meat thermometer reads 175 °F when inserted in the middle of the quiche not touching the pan.
  • When done, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool on a wire baking rack for five to ten minutes before slicing and serving it.
