Preparation Instructions
- Start by rolling out your dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick. Fit the dough into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming excess. Freeze for 20 minutes to prevent shrinking.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line crust with parchment and fill with pie weights. Blind bake for 10-12 minutes, then remove weights and bake for another 6-8 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Stir in diced ham, shredded Gruyère cheese, and green onions into the custard mixture until evenly distributed.
- Pour filling into cooled pie crust and bake for 30 minutes until puffed and edges are lightly browned.
- Sprinkle reserved ham and cheese over top, bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the center is set and golden.
- Allow quiche to cool for 30 minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
