1-Gathering and Prepping Ingredients: First, get everything ready to make the process smooth. Preheat your oven to 375°F and gather your ingredients like the 1 unbaked pie crust, 6 large eggs, and ¾ cup milk or cream. Chopping items such as 3 tablespoons of sliced green onions and cubing 1 cup of cooked ham ahead of time saves you effort.

Once prepped, unroll the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edges for a nice finish. This step sets the foundation for your homemade quiche and helps avoid a soggy base. If you’re adapting for dietary needs, like a vegan swap, prepare your substitutes now.

2-Mixing and Assembling: Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, ¾ cup milk or cream, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until smooth and well combined. This mixture is the heart of your easy quiche, creating that creamy texture we all love.

Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of cubed cooked ham, 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and the 3 tablespoons of sliced green onions over the crust. Pour the egg mixture on top, then add the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese over everything. This layering ensures even flavor distribution for perfect quiche results.

3-Baking and Finishing: Bake the quiche for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is fully set. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning tent with foil if needed. Once done, let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing, which helps it hold its shape.
