Notes
- Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing to help it set and make cutting easier.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust or make a crustless quiche by baking the filling in a greased baking dish.
- To prevent a soggy crust, prebake the pie crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling and ensure your ham is well-drained.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss to change up the flavor profile of the quiche.
