Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the pie dish

Butter a 9-inch pie dish. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2
Prepare the first crust

Roll out one pie crust dough on a floured surface. Transfer to the buttered pie dish. Press into the bottom and sides. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.

3
Blind bake the crust

Line the crust with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment. Bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

4
Prepare the onion

Peel the onion. Dice finely.

5
Prepare the garlic

Peel the garlic cloves. Mince finely.

6
Prepare the ham

Cut the ham into 1/2-inch cubes.

7
Prepare the cheese

Grate the cheese.

8
Prepare the thyme

Remove leaves from stems. Chop finely.

9
Sauté the aromatics

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat and let cool.

10
Prepare the egg mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper.

11
Assemble the filling

Spread Dijon mustard on the bottom of the par-baked crust. Sprinkle half of the grated cheese over the mustard. Add the ham cubes and sautéed onion-garlic mixture. Sprinkle with chopped thyme. Add remaining cheese. Pour the egg mixture over everything.

12
Create the lattice top

Roll out the second pie crust on a floured surface. Cut into 10-12 even strips, about 1/2-inch wide.

13
Weave the lattice

Lay half the strips parallel across the top of the filling. Fold back every other strip halfway. Place one strip perpendicular to the others. Unfold the folded strips over the perpendicular strip. Fold back the alternate strips. Place another perpendicular strip. Continue this process until the lattice is complete.

14
Finish the edges

Trim excess dough from the lattice strips. Fold the overhang from the bottom crust over the edges of the lattice. Crimp or press with a fork to seal.

15
Prepare egg wash

Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the lattice and edges with egg wash.

16
Bake the quiche

Place the quiche on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is set. The center should be slightly jiggly but not liquid.

17
Rest before serving

Let the quiche rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set completely.

18
Serve

Slice into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
