I love using up ingredients from the fridge when pulling together a last minute breakfast. This quiche is one of my favorite go-to breakfast items because it’s so simple and delicious.
Actually, it a great lunch or dinner entree, as well. Just add a light salad and enjoy!
Easy Ham and Cheese Quiche
1 refrigerated pie crust
7 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cooked ham chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
3 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unroll pie crust and press into a greased 9″ pie plate, crimping the top edges, if needed.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, hot sauce and pepper. Sprinkle ham, cheese, and (optional) green onions into the pie crust and pour the egg mixture over top. Bake for 40-43 minutes until the center is completely set. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Since you published this recipe, I have it in my cooking plans (I love quiche!), but you can’t really scale the 9-inch pie form 🙂 – and I live solo, and now nobody can visit! Did you ever try to freeze it?

I’ve baked individual servings in muffin cups and then frozen them individually.
Hope this helps… stay safe and stay well.

It most definitely does! I can also make just a half of it that way. Thank you 🙂

Just wanted to mention, that after two weeks of experimenting I can confirm, that a large quiche and a small quiche taste differently 🙂
