Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup green onions diced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup cooked ham diced
- 1¼ cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1 pie crust homemade (click for recipe!), or pre-made
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C), and set a rack in the middle position.
- Line a tart pan or pie plate, with a single pie crust (if using frozen, thaw for 10 minutes).
- Using a fork, poke holes into the bottom and sides of the crust and place in the oven to bake the crust for about 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven, and set aside. Turn the oven down to 325°F (160°C).
- While the crust is baking, in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and cream. Be sure to have the egg yolks mixed well into the cream. Once mixed, stir in the seasonings, ham, and cheese, stirring to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and place in the oven on the center rack.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the eggs are set and do not jiggle in the center of the pie.
Notes
- If you would like to use bacon instead of ham, it will have to be cooked first.
- Watch the crust as it’s baking so it doesn’t burn.
- You can brush an egg white on the outer crust to help it turn golden brown.
