Why This Quiche Is Our Easter Must-Have
We’ve got lives to live and brunches to slay, and this quiche delivers—fluffy eggs, hearty ham, and cheesy goodness that make us feel festive without the stress. It’s simple enough for a busy morning but fancy enough to share with the crew, giving us that perfect balance we nail at 40 and beyond. Plus, it’s a one-dish wonder—more time for coffee and less for cleanup!
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- OR 1 1/2 cups crushed buttery crackers (like Ritz) mixed with 4 tablespoons melted butter for a quick twist
For the Filling
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup half-and-half (or milk for lighter)
- 1 cup diced cooked ham
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix with Swiss)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for that Easter flair)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)—it’s quiche time!
- Press the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges if you’re feeling fancy, or mix the cracker crumbs and butter, press into the dish, and set aside. Easy peasy!
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth and frothy—this is where the fluff happens!
Step 3: Layer the Goodies
- Sprinkle the ham, cheese, and green onions evenly over the crust—let’s build that flavor!
- Pour the egg mixture over the top, letting it settle in like a pro.
Step 4: Bake It
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden—give it a little jiggle to check. If the crust browns too fast, cover the edges with foil.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes—it’ll slice like a dream.
Step 5: Serve and Celebrate
- Cut into wedges and serve warm—perfect with a side of fruit or a mimosa if Easter calls for it. You’ve just made brunch magic, ladies!
Cori’s Flavor Tips for the 40+ Easter Vibes
- Quick Swap: Use bacon or turkey ham if that’s more your speed—keep it yours!
- Veggie Boost: Toss in spinach or diced bell peppers for extra color and crunch.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the night before, fridge it, and bake in the morning—holiday stress, gone!
- Leftovers Rock: Reheat a slice for a quick weekday breakfast—it’s just as good.
