Description
This delicious slow cooker quiche is easy to prepare and perfect for brunch or a light dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup diced ham (about 6 ounces)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Grease the inside of your slow cooker (crockpot) lightly with cooking spray or butter.
- If using, place the unbaked pie crust in the bottom of the slow cooker, pressing it up the sides slightly. It’s okay if it doesn’t go all the way up.
- Sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the slow cooker (or over the crust if using).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and optional garlic and onion powder until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, or until the quiche is set in the center and a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean. Avoid cooking on HIGH as it may cause the eggs to become rubbery.
- Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the quiche rest, uncovered, for about 15 minutes to make slicing easier.
- Garnish with chopped chives or green onions if desired. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- This quiche can be customized with your favorite vegetables or cheeses.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and add more vegetables.
