  • Properly Clean the Collards: Wash and thoroughly dry the collard greens to remove any dirt or grit.

  • Choose Quality Ham: Use good-quality ham with a smoky flavor to complement the collard greens.
  • Use a Deep-Dish Pie Plate: A deep-dish pie plate ensures that the quiche has enough space to rise and prevents overflow.
  • Chill the Quiche Before Baking: Chilling the quiche before baking helps the filling to set and results in a more stable quiche.

  • Let the Quiche Cool Before Serving: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving to let the flavors meld and the quiche to set properly.
