Description
This ham and cheese quiche is rich, creamy, and full of comforting flavor. I combine eggs, milk, savory ham, and melted cheese in a flaky crust to create a perfect dish for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. It is simple, satisfying, and always a family favorite.

- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
Instructions

You can replace ham with turkey or vegetables. Let the quiche rest 10 minutes before slicing for clean cuts. Store in the fridge up to 3 days and reheat gently in the oven.
