Creating Ham & Cheese Quiche is straightforward with these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Pie Crust: Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing.
3. Combine Eggs and Cream: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully blended. Set aside.
4. Add Fillings: Stir in the shredded cheese, diced ham, green onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, if using.
5. Fill Pie Crust: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
6. Bake: Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling to firm up a bit for easier serving.
8. Serve or Store: You can serve it warm or let it cool completely before storing any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
