Description

This Western omelet quiche makes good use of leftover pantry ingredients like eggs, Cheddar cheese, and ham for a satisfying, flavor-packed breakfast.

Ingredients

1 (9 inch) prepared pie crust
1 cup diced ham
2 1/2 cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1 1/4 cups milk
4 eggs, whisked
1 red bell pepper, diced, or more to taste
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Place pie crust in a 9-inch glass pie plate. Set aside.
3 Cook and stir ham in a large skillet over medium heat until it no longer looks moist, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
4 Mix together cheese, milk, eggs, bell pepper, onion, garlic, black pepper, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Stir in ham. Pour into the prepared pie plate.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden, the top is lightly browned, and filling is set, about 1 hour.
