Easy Western Omelet Quiche
This Western Omelet Quiche is the perfect answer to serving up omelets for a crowd without standing over the stove to make individual omelets. Colorful and healthy ingredients baked together in a creamy custard inside a deep dish pie shell.
I had never made a quiche before, eaten them – yes; but never made one. This was going to be fun! I made the western omelet quiche exactly as Melissa’s recipe details with one exception. I didn’t have smoked ham, so in place of that I diced up a ham steak to use.
This was a success! The quiche was light, fluffy, and full of flavor from the vegetables, ham, and spices. Definitely a “make-again” dish.
Western Omelette Quiche
Equipment
- skillet
- knife
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch deep dish pie shell (frozen)
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup green bell pepper, diced
- ⅓ cup red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ounces (about ¾ cup) diced ham
- 1½ cups colby jack
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prick the bottom of the frozen pie shell with a fork, bake it for 5 minutes, and then remove it from the oven.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet. Sauté the green onions and bell peppers for 2–3 minutes, or until softened.
- Layer HALF of the ham and HALF of the Colby Jack cheese in the bottom of the par-baked pie shell. Whisk the heavy cream, eggs, garlic salt, black pepper, onion powder, and ground mustard together in a medium bowl, then stir in the cooked vegetables.
- Pour HALF of the egg mixture over the ham and cheese. Add the remaining ham and cheese, followed by the rest of the egg mixture. Place the quiche on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 10 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and bake for another 30–40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Transfer it to a cooling rack and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This gives the filling time to finish setting so the slices hold together when served.
