Breakfast food is my favorite meal of the day and I love brunch food even MORE! I love a good quiche for breakfast and this honey ham and smoked gouda quiche is absolutely delicious!! We love making this ham and gouda quiche recipe for brunch for friends, as an Easter/Christmas leftover ham recipe, or simply to enjoy for ourselves as a tasty breakfast!
Ingredients for the Ham and Gouda Quiche
- honey ham (or, you may choose to use smoked ham but we prefer honey)
- smoked gouda
- eggs
- shallots
- deep-dish pie crust (frozen or homemade)
- half & half
- chives
- salt
- sugar
Preparing the Honey Ham and Smoked Gouda Quiche
We like to use a frozen crust for this recipe because it makes things go way quicker. But, you may choose to make a homemade pie crust if you’d like!
Make sure to thaw out the deep-dish frozen pie crust at least 30 minutes prior to baking.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and begin to prepare the shallots by chopping them up and lining them on the bottom of the frozen pie crust.
Chop the ham into small diced cubes and place on top of the shallots. Shred smoked gouda for the ham and gouda quiche and sprinkle over the ham.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, half and half, salt, sugar, and chives. Pour egg mixture into the deep-dish pie crust.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 300 degrees and bake for another 30 minutes. (or until golden brown on the top)
Enjoy! 🙂
