Ham And Cheese Crustless Quiche Recipe
A quick and easy crustless quiche loaded with savory ham and melty cheese—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup diced cooked ham leftover or deli
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese optional
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
- 1 tablespoon chives or parsley chopped, for garnish
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing dish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter. Place it on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
- In a bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 1 cup milk, ½ cup heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth and pale.
- Stir in 1 cup diced ham and 1½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar plus Swiss) until evenly distributed throughout the custard.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, gently shaking to level the filling for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove the quiche and let it rest on a wire rack for 10 minutes to finish cooking and firm up.
- Run a knife around the edge, slice into 6 wedges, and garnish with chopped chives or parsley before serving.
- Cool completely, then wrap individual slices for the freezer or keep airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
For a golden top, sprinkle an extra 2 tablespoons of cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking. Leftovers reheat well in a toaster oven.
