Savory Ham, Apple, and Cheddar Breakfast Quiche

Ingredients

- 1 pre-made pie shell
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 small apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Pie Shell
- Place the pre-made pie shell into a 9-inch pie dish if it isn’t already placed. Crimp edges as desired for aesthetic appeal.

3. Prepare the Filling
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced ham until slightly browned, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Using the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Reserve with the ham.
- Layer the sliced apples evenly on the bottom of the pie shell.

4. Mix the Custard
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and flour. Stir until well incorporated.
- Gradually whisk in the evaporated milk until smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring after each addition.

5. Assemble the Quiche
- Spread the ham and onion mixture evenly over the apples in the pie shell.
- Pour the custard mixture over the filling in the pie shell, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper on top for seasoning.

6. Bake the Quiche
- Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
- If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.

7. Cool and Serve
- Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes serving easier.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
