A delightful and easy-to-make quiche combining savory ham and creamy cheese, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Place the pie crust into a pie dish and set aside.
Use a fork to prick the crust lightly to prevent bubbling.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, basil, dry mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Stir in the chopped onion, diced ham, and shredded cheese.
Combine gently to avoid breaking the cheese shreds.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Pour slowly to avoid spilling over the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Cooling allows the quiche to set and makes slicing easier.
