Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Oven mitts

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pre-made pie crust or homemade
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream for extra creaminess
  • 4 large eggs beaten until smooth
  • 2 cups diced cooked ham roughly chopped
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese sharp works best
  • ½ cup chopped green onions scallions
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder for extra flavor
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon salt adjust as needed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) first.
  • Place the pie crust in your dish.
  • Press it firmly against the bottom and sides.
  • Prick the bottom with a fork several times.
  • This prevents bubbling during baking time.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add sour cream and mix them together well.
  • Crack eggs into the bowl and whisk thoroughly.
  • Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper now.
  • Mix until everything combines into one mixture.
  • Fold in the diced ham pieces gently.
  • Add most of the shredded cheddar cheese next.
  • Stir in the chopped green onions carefully.
  • Reserve some cheese for topping the quiche.
  • Pour the mixture into your prepared crust.
  • Spread it evenly across the entire surface.
  • Sprinkle remaining cheese on top for decoration.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
  • The center should be set but slightly jiggly.
  • Remove from oven using your oven mitts.
  • Let it cool for 10-15 minutes minimum.
  • This helps the quiche set properly inside.
  • Slice into wedges and serve while warm.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for smoothness.
  • Cold cream cheese creates lumps in your filling.
  • Don't overbake or the eggs become rubbery.
  • Check doneness by gently shaking the pan slightly.
  • The center should jiggle just a little bit.
  • Let it rest before cutting into slices.
  • This prevents the filling from running out everywhere.
  • Add jalapeños if you like some spicy heat.
  • Bacon works great instead of ham too.
  • Make mini versions using muffin tins instead.
  • Freeze leftovers for up to three months easily.
