Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup diced ham
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (green or mixed colors)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Dice the bell peppers and ham into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and distribution throughout the quiche.
  2. Whisk the eggs: In a large bowl, beat 6 eggs thoroughly until well blended. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  3. Combine and pour: Stir in the diced ham, bell peppers, and shredded cheese into the eggs until evenly mixed. Pour this mixture into a greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
  4. Bake: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the quiche is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes to make slicing easier. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute the ham with cooked bacon or sausage for a different flavor profile.
  • Add onions or mushrooms to the bell pepper mix for extra vegetable content.
  • Use a pie crust if you prefer a traditional quiche base, though this recipe works well without crust.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
