Ham, cheese, eggs, and cream are the basic ingredients of a classic quiche, which is quite easy to make if you have a sheet of pie crust in the fridge, either store-bought or pre-made using your favorite recipe. You'll also need a deep pie or tart pan lined with thinly rolled out dough. The filling is then spread on top, and the whole thing is baked until golden brown. This ham and Gruyère quiche can be served for both breakfast and dinner. A light salad of salad greens and fresh mushrooms in a vinaigrette dressing makes a wonderful accompaniment to this flavorful pie.
