One thing I don’t love? Pie crust.

I know, I know — maybe you think I’m crazy. Who doesn’t love PIE?!?

But give me cake, a cookie, ice cream, a candy bar, or just about anything else, and I will gladly let you have my piece of pie.

So when I’m making a quiche? It’s all about the filling here, which is why this ham quiche recipe uses a premade, refrigerated pie crust, and I’m just not gonna take any flack for it 😉

How to make Ham Quiche:

  • Start with a crust — pie crust (go all out and make your own pie crust if you want), puff pastry quiche, or wonton wrappers for easy mini quiche if you like! — or not. You can totally make this a crustless quiche by just skipping all of the above. Just make sure you grease your pie plate well before pouring your eggs in!
  • Choose good ham. The cooked ham you find at a grocery store varies greatly in quality. I like to go with one of the natural versions that actually has real ingredients in it. Call me crazy. (again)
  • Add your favorite veggies — or not. Mushrooms, peppers, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, broccoli, spinach or really anything you want or anything you need to clear out of the fridge. Feel free to go a little crazy and come up with your own variations! This here is a basic ham quiche recipe and you’re welcome to jazz it up however you like.

Lighten it up:

Now, I’m all about getting healthy fats and milk, meat, and whole eggs all have a ton of other benefits! But if you need, you can make this quiche a little better for you in a few different ways:

  • Use skim milk instead whole milk or cream. This will reduce fat and calories significantly!
  • Choose a fat free, natural ham if available.
  • Use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
  • Use a low fat cheese instead of full fat.
  • Skip the crust! Bake your quiche filling in a well-greased pie plate until the eggs are set in the middle.

  8. Easy to make and great. My only thing is it turned out way too salty so next time I will leave out the salt since the ham has enough.

  9. Very easy to make and great use of leftover Christmas ham. I added red pepper instead of green onions and it was delicious. Thanks for sharing.

  17. How would you suggest freezing this by the slice? Warm up directions? My mom lives alone and this would be easy for me to make for her to have in her freezer.

    • Oh that is an awesome idea! I would probably wrap each in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn. I am not an expert on this but I think it would be best reheated in the oven so it doesn’t become soggy.
