📝 Ingredients

• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions ( or chives)
• 1 1/2 cup diced ham steak (1/4" dice)
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper (1/4" dice)
• 5 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat the Oven - Set the oven rack in the middle position. Preheat to 350°F (177°C).
2. 2Layer the Ingredients - Grease a 9-inch pie dish with baking spray or brush with olive oil. Evenly sprinkle half of the cheese and green onions into the dish. Top with the ham and red bell pepper, followed by the remaining green onion and then cheese.
3. 3Make the Custard Filling - In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
4. 4Add the Custard - Slowly pour the egg mixture into the pie dish, allowing it to settle around the ingredients and the bottom. Use a fork to move the ingredients to help the custard settle. Sprinkle the surface with black pepper.
5. 5Bake - Bake the quiche on top of a sheet pan in the middle of the oven until the surface is lightly golden brown, the center is just set, and the edges slightly puffy, about 30 to 35 minutes. The temperature on an instant-read thermometer should be about 190 to 195ºF (88 to 91ºC) in the center and about 195 to 200ºF (91 to 93ºC) on the edges.
6. 6To Serve - Cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
