Ingredients

1 pie crust (store bought or homemade)
5 large eggs
3/4 cup milk (177.4 ml)
1/2 cup half and half (118.3 ml)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt if you use table salt, use half

Instructions

Please note that the timing on this recipe does not reflect the time it takes to make a homemade pie crust. If you are making it homemade, you will want to make the crust the day before.
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 parchment paper. On top of the paper, place pie weights (loose change or dry beans also work well). Spread them so that they start to go up the edges. Bake the pie crust for 15 minutes. Remove the crust and lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
While the crust is baking, make the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half and half, salt, and pepper until there are no streaks of eggs left. Stir in the cheese, cooked ham, and green onions.
5 large eggs, 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup half and half, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 cup cheese, 1 cup cooked ham, 4 green onions
Remove the paper and pie weights from the pie crust. While it is still warm, pour the filling into the pie crust. 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.
