How to Make Cheesy Ham Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sauté 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped, in 2 tablespoons of butter until softened (about 5 minutes).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Add 1 cup diced ham, the sautéed onion and green pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour the cheese and ham mixture into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust (glass preferred).
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup milk or cream, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and ham filling.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
