Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust dough

Meat Filling

  • 200 g sausage meat, cooked and crumbled
  • 150 g ham pieces, diced

Egg Custard

  • 4 large eggs
  • 120 ml milk
  • 120 ml heavy cream
  • 0.75 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder

Topping

  • 150 g shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and place a rack in the center position to ensure even cooking.
  2. Mix the Egg Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare the Pie Crust: Gently press the unbaked pie crust dough into a 9 inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough around the edges to fit neatly.
  4. Assemble the Filling: Evenly spread the cooked sausage meat and diced ham pieces over the bottom of the pie crust. Then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top of the meat layer.
  5. Pour the Custard: Carefully pour the prepared egg mixture over the meat and cheese filling, filling the pie dish almost to the top but avoiding overflow.
  6. Bake: Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time allows the custard to set fully and makes slicing easier and cleaner.

Notes

  • Allow the quiche to rest before slicing to achieve cleaner, neater cuts.
  • Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential spills during baking for easier cleanup.
  • For a crispier crust base, consider blind baking the pie crust lightly before adding the filling.
