Notes/Tips

• Feel free to swap out the ham and cheddar cheese for other meats and cheeses of your choice. This recipe is quite versatile!
• For a healthier option, replace the heavy cream with whole milk or a mix of whole milk and half-and-half.
• Adding a small salad or fruit on the side can balance out this rich, savory dish.
• Leftover quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It reheats well in the microwave or oven.

Enjoy your ham and cheese quiche, and remember, a good day starts with a good breakfast!
