Onion and Ham Quiche
Experience true comfort with this mouth-watering Onion and Ham Quiche, boasting a crumbly, golden-brown crust that cradles a delicate medley of caramelized onions, succulent ham, and creamy cheddar cheese.

Servings: 6
Ingredients
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup, shredded
- Milk
- 1 cup
- Eggs
- 4, beaten
- Ham
- 1 cup, diced
- Onions
- 2, thinly sliced
- Pie Crust
- 1 (9-inch)
- Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent them from burning.
- Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pie crust.
- Sprinkle the diced ham over the onions.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Pour this egg mixture over the onions and ham in the pie crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the middle, and the crust is golden brown.
- Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the quiche to set and makes it easier to cut.
