Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough or one pie crust
  • 5 eggs
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream or whole milk
  • ¾ cup diced ham
  • ¾ cup shredded white cheddar cheese + ¼ cup for topping.
  • 2 new potatoes diced small
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F with the cast iron skillet inside.
  • After preheating, carefully remove the hot skillet and pour in the sourdough, spreading it to the edges. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet and pour in your filling.
  • Return the skillet to the oven to bake for 30 minutes. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Dice up potatoes small to ensure they cook through. You can boil the potatoes ahead of time and then add them to the dish.
  • Keep an eye on the top of the quiche; if it looks like its starting to brown on top, lightly cover with aluminum foil
  • If you do decide to use a pastry crust, Lighly oil the skillet before pressing the crust in to ensure it doesn’t stick.
