How to Make Country Ham Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1 cup of half-and-half until light and frothy.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of diced country ham, 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 cup of finely chopped red bell pepper.
  4. Gently pour the egg mixture into the 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The quiche should be set and lightly golden brown.
  6. Let the quiche stand for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows it to set further and makes it easier to slice.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley (optional).
