Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced). Grease a 22.5 cm / 9-inch pie dish with butter or spray it lightly with oil.

  2. Step 2: Whisk the eggs, cream, salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3: Scatter most of the ham, cheese and green onion in the pie dish.

  4. Step 4: Pour in the egg mixture. Top with the remaining ham, cheese and green onion.

  5. Step 5: Bake for 35 minutes, until golden on top and the centre barely wiggles. Do not overcook, or the quiche will lose its custardy texture.

  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes. The quiche will deflate as it rests.

  7. Step 7: Cut into slices and serve with a simple side salad, stuff into soft rolls, or wrap in burritos and pan-fry until crisp.

Notes

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before reheating; reheat a whole quiche, covered, in a 180°C/350°F oven for 10 minutes. A slice will take less time.

If using only mozzarella, add a pinch of extra salt to the egg mixture. Use salt sparingly, as ham and cheese are already salty.

Cream gives the quiche a richer, custardy texture. If using milk instead, use half the amount; the texture will be more like a frittata.
