Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a 10-inch pie plate.
- Sprinkle chopped ham, shredded Swiss cheese, and chopped onion evenly in the plate.
- Blend eggs, milk, Bisquick, pepper, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the mixture over the ham, cheese, and onion in the pie plate.
- Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half instead of milk. You can also substitute the Swiss cheese with cheddar or Gruyère for a different flavor profile. If you're pressed for time, pre-cooked ham or even leftover ham from previous meals works great. Add some chopped bell peppers or spinach for extra veggies, enhancing the dish's nutritional value.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the ham quiche warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for brunch or a light dinner. Pair it with a fresh green salad or some roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. For a delightful touch, serve alongside Tater Delights for a unique twist on a classic meal or enjoy with a slice of fresh fruit.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through, ensuring the crust remains crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance. Assemble it without baking, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, bake it fresh for a warm, delicious meal. This makes it perfect for entertaining or busy weeknights.
What can I use instead of Bisquick?
If you don't have Bisquick, you can make a substitute by combining 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This works well in maintaining the quiche's texture and consistency.
Can I freeze ham quiche?
Yes, you can freeze ham quiche for up to 2 months. Allow it to cool completely before wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in the oven for the best results.
