Ingredients

1 pie crust (store bought or homemade)
5 large eggs
2 cups milk 473.176 ml (I used skim, read more above)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt if you use table salt, use half
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chives minced
12 ounces ham or 2 1/2 cups cubed (340 grams)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (113 grams)

Instructions

Roll out the pie crust and put in a deep 9-inch pie pan. Wrap with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
1 pie crust
Take the pie crust out of the refrigerator and take off the plastic wrap. Line the pie crust with 2 sheets of aluminum foil. On top of the aluminum foil, place pie weights or loose coins. Spread them so that they start to go up the edges. Bake the pie crust for 25 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until there are no streaks of eggs left. Stir in the chives, ham, and cheese.
5 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon chives, 12 ounces ham, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Remove the foil and loose change from the pie crust. While it is still warm, pour the filling into the pie crust until it is just full (you might have a little filling left). If the crust is a deep golden, put a pie shield over it before placing the quiche in the oven. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the quiche comes out clean. The center will be set but soft.
Let the quiche set for at least an hour before slicing.
