Country Ham Quiche: Brunch Recipe

Dec 16, 2020 · Modified: Sep 13, 2021 by JCP

Hey, y’all – Happy Day 16 of Blogmas! Blogmas is a series that I am bringing to the blog this year (and hopefully in subsequent years) that will provide y’all with a new recipe every day of December through Christmas. How fun is that? Today I’m excited to be sharing my take on the perfect Sunday morning dish: my country ham quiche. This quiche has so much flavor + will quickly turn into a family favorite, I promise you that!

FAQ

Do I have to use country ham for this quiche?

Absolutely not. Country ham is merely my ham of choice. If you'd prefer, you can use the ham of your choice.

What is country ham?

Country ham is a version of ham that is immensely popular in the south. It is heavily salted and preserved by curing and smoking. It has a unique flavor and is popular as a breakfast protein.

Is there a shortcut for this recipe?

Yes, you do not have to make your own country ham. Many supermarkets, including Kroger, have country ham already prepared in the deli. Ask the deli attendant to cut some country ham for you, saving the cooking and preparation time at the beginning.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 frozen deep dish pie shell
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 3-4 slices fried country ham diced
  • 1 cup broccoli cooked, chopped (I prefer to air fry it)
  • ½ c. gruyere cheese
  • ½ c. sharp cheddar cheese
  • ⅓ c. monterey jack
  • ½ c. half-and-half
  • 2 shallots
  • 3 tbsp. Dijon Mustard I recommend Grey Poupon
  • Minced Garlic
  • Black pepper to taste
  • EVOO

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Fry the country ham in extra virgin olive oil over medium heat; you will flip once the ham has browned and will cook the other side in the same fashion. Don't overcook as it will become dry. Dice after cooking.
  • In a pan over medium heat, cook 2 shallots and the minced garlic in extra virgin olive oil until tender. In a mixing bowl, combine beaten eggs with country ham, broccoli, gruyere, sharp cheddar, monterey jack, half-and-half, shallots + garlic, and 1 tbsp. of dijon mustard. Spread the remaining 2 tablespoon of dijon mustard around the inside of the deep dish pie shell. Pour in egg mixture.
  • Bake for roughly 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out of the middle clean. Broil for 1-2 minutes to brown the top.
  • Enjoy!
