US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed Note 1
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 12 oz (340 g) ham cubed Note 2
  • 1 cup (115 g) Gouda cheese shredded or use cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chives finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dill finely chopped plus more for topping

Equipment

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin into a slightly larger than 9 inches to fit into a 9” pie dish.
    1 sheet puff pastry
  • Add the puff pastry to the pie dish and trim off corners to make it round.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, milk, heavy cream, salt, and garlic powder until there are no streaks of eggs left. (You can also put the ingredients in a blender and blend it in a blender.)
    4 large eggs, 2 egg yolks, 1 cup whole milk, ½ cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Add the ham, cheese, and herbs, toss together in the puff pastry, then pour the filling on top, until it is just full (you might have a little filling left).
    1 cup Gouda cheese, 12 oz ham, 1 tablespoon chives, 1 tablespoon dill
  • Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until fully set on top with no jiggle and inserted toothpick comes out clean. If the dough is starting to brown too much, cover with foil and continue baking.

Notes

Tip: I prefer a deep pie dish for this recipe.
Note 1: Use seamless puff pastry dough sheets for the puff pastry crust. Seal any cracks or seams by pinching the dough back together with moistened fingertips.  
Note 2: Feel free to substitute the ham with crumbled bacon, chicken, or any other protein source you prefer. 
Storing Tips: 
- Store baked quiche wrapped tightly with plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days. 
- To reheat, cover the quiche with aluminum foil, and warm it in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 350°F.  
- Freeze fully baked quiche for up to 3 months, and thaw in the fridge overnight before warming.
