Ingredients

5 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
4 oz ham diced
1 cup shredded mozzarella
Salt and black pepper to taste
¼ cup green onions

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9" pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper.
Scatter most of the ham, cheese, and green onion in the prepared pie dish. Pour the egg mixture over it. Top with the remaining ham, cheese, and green onion.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden. Avoid overcooking to maintain a custardy texture.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes; it will deflate slightly.
Cut into slices and serve with a simple green arugula salad.

Notes

Whisk the eggs and cream until fully incorporated to give the quiche a fluffy texture.
Be sure to grease the pie dish very well to prevent the quiche from sticking.
If you don’t have a pie dish, a large cast iron skillet will work just as well!
To Store: Cover the pie dish securely with plastic wrap, or place the leftovers in an airtight container. Then, store the quiche in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Another tip – use the leftovers to make these breakfast meal prep bowls!
To Freeze: I like to freeze quiche in individual servings. Wrap each slice in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
To Reheat: The easiest way to reheat quiche is to pop it in the microwave. Heat it for 1 -2 minutes if it’s frozen, or 30 seconds if it was in the fridge.
