Quiche does not have to be pretentious or fancy. In fact, it is a perfect low key meal. It comes together easily and can easily be adapted to fit your tastes. This super simple ham, potato and cheese version is sure to be a hit, even with pickier eaters.
Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch deep dish pie plate. Dock the bottom by pricking it with a fork a few times. Lay a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper on the pie crust and cover with pie weights.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and remove pie weights from crust.
Drop oven temperature to 350°F.
Mix together ham and potato cubes and place in parbaked crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs, milk and spices. Pour over ham and potatoes.
Sprinkle with cheese and bake on the bottom rack for about 35-40 minutes. Check the crust as it bakes and cover with foil or a pie guard if needed. The edges should be set and the center should have just a bit of wobble left when it’s done.
Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. It is great served warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Use your favorite type of cheese. Colby jack, cheddar, and gouda are all great options.
