Ingredients

  • 1 (9-inch) frozen ready-to-bake pie crust (MUST be deep dish)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fine sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
  • 1 and 1/2 cups diced/cubed cooked ham (leftover holiday ham or store-bought)
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • Optional garnish: chopped chives, cooked and chopped bacon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place unwrapped frozen pie crust on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
  • Melt the butter in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add in the diced onion and cook 3-5 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add in the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove, set aside, and allow to cool slightly.
  • Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until lightly beaten. Then whisk in the half-and-half, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Gently stir in the cubed ham and both cheeses. Stir in the cooked onion and garlic. 
  • Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust (still on the baking sheet) and bake on the lower oven rack for 35 to 42 minutes, or until set and very slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Serve warm with optional garnishes as desired.
