Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup diced ham
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 green onion, chopped

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a frozen pie crust, ensure it’s thawed and pre-bake it for 10 minutes. Let it cool before filling.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the diced ham, cheddar cheese, and chopped green onion. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together. Season with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Layer the ham and cheese mixture evenly into the pre-baked pie crust.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture over the filling, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
- Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

To customize, swap ham for sautéed vegetables or other cooked meats. Add herbs for additional flavor.
