Yield Makes one 9-inch pie, 6 to 8 slices (level: easy)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Crust
1 recipe Traditional Pastry Piecrust dough for a 9-inch single-crust pie (page 5)
1/4 cup heavy cream (to glaze the crimped pie edges)
Filling
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil)
3/4 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup cubed smoked ham steak (1/2 inch)
3/4 cup thinly sliced brie
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • To prepare the pie shell, on a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out half a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it forms a 10-inch circle. Wrap the remaining half of the dough tightly in plastic wrap and reserve it in the refrigerator for future use for up to 5 days. Fold the circle in half, place it in a 9-inch pie plate so that the edges of the circle drop over the rim, and unfold the dough to completely cover the pie plate. Brush the edges of the pie shell with heavy cream to create a perfect, golden brown finish. Keep the pie shell close by, as you will add ingredients one at a time.
  • To prepare the filling, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they achieve a golden brown color, approximately 5 minutes. Spread the sautéed onions across the bottom of the pie shell.
  • Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and fry the ham until it turns a golden brown. Place the ham in the pie shell on top of the onion layer, distributing it evenly. Layer the brie slices over the ham.
  • In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, combine the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pie shell, covering the onions, ham, and brie.
  • To bake, place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350°F and continue baking for 40 minutes, or until the quiche is firm in the middle. Transfer the pie plate to a wire cooling rack and allow the quiche to cool and set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  • Cooked Ham and Brie Quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. An uncooked quiche can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To optimally keep quiche, put it in the freezer uncovered and let it freeze on a flat surface. Once the quiche has frozen, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and return it to the freezer.

This quiche was delicious! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and creamy. I loved the combination of ham and brie. I will definitely be making this again.

I thought this quiche was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I've had better quiches before.

This quiche was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I won't be making this again.

I thought this quiche was just okay. The crust was a little dry and the filling was a bit bland. I've had better quiches before.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my quiche didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The quiche was good, though a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I’ll use reduced-sodium ham and cheese.

This was my first time making a quiche. I’m happy to say that it came out perfect! Even my kids loved it! It was creamy with a flakey crust. I’m definitely going to make this again!

This ham and brie quiche was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
