BECKY'S HEALTHIER HAM AND CHEESE QUICHE

Becky's Healthier Ham and Cheese Quiche image

I have been on a permanent quest to find the perfect quiche recipe. As a self-professed breakfast food, cheese, and egg lover, quiche represents to me all that is right and good in a culinary concoction. Traditionally quiche is not a healthy option, what with all the cream and cheese that typically goes into it. I have literally experimented with different versions of a healthier quiche for years, but a couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon the perfect mixture, and I am pleased to share it here with all of you.

Tips:

For a crispier crust, blind bake the pie crust before filling it.
To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, brush it with an egg wash before baking.
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh ham, sharp cheddar cheese, and heavy cream will make a big difference.
Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the quiche tough.
Bake the quiche until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
