Ham and cheese quiche with green onions

Prep: 15 minutes Bake: 45 minutes Rest: 20 minutes

Makes: 8 servings 1 frozen pie crust, thawed 1 1⁄2 cups whole milk 5 egg yolks 1⁄2 teaspoon salt Freshly ground pepper 1 cup diced smoked deli ham 1 1⁄2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese 2 green onions, very thinly sliced 1crust Heat oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the pie dough and press the pie

into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges of the dough using your thumb and pointer fingers to make a decorative edge, or crimp the edges of the dough with the back of a fork all along the rim of the pie plate. Place in the freezer, 10 minutes. 2 Meanwhile, whisk together the milk, egg yolks, salt and pepper until very well blended, about 30 seconds. Remove pie plate from freezer. Scatter the ham on the bottom of the pie crust; spread the cheese evenly on top of the ham. Scatter the green onions on top of the cheese. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the ham, cheese and green onions, filling the crust almost to the rim. You may have a little milk mixture leftover. 3 Place the quiche on a baking sheet; bake until the top is golden brown and the center jiggles slightly when shaken, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. Let rest at least 20 minutes before serving. You can serve the quiche warm, room temperature or cold.
