Equipment

  • 9-inch deep dish pie pan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Skillet
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup diced ham, cooked
  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 green onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 9-inch deep dish pie crust unbaked
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. If ham is not pre-cooked, sauté in a skillet for 3-5 minutes until lightly browned and moisture evaporates. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Add cooked ham, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until evenly combined.
  • Unroll pie crust and press into a 9-inch deep dish pie pan. Crimp edges if desired. Transfer ham and cream cheese mixture into crust, spreading evenly.
  • Sprinkle half the cheddar cheese and all chopped green onion over the ham mixture.
  • In the same bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper. Pour custard mixture over ham and cheese layers.
  • Top with remaining cheddar cheese. Place on center rack of oven.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes until center is just set (should jiggle slightly but not look liquid) and top is golden brown. If edges brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil.
  • Remove from oven and rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow filling to set fully.

Notes

  • Let quiche rest 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts
  • Make ahead: Assemble night before, refrigerate, bake straight from fridge adding 5-10 minutes
  • Store leftovers in refrigerator up to 4 days, reheat at 325°F for 15-20 minutes
  • Freezes well: Wrap cooled slices tightly, freeze up to 2 months
  • Substitute ham with cooked bacon, sausage, or shredded chicken
