Method

  • In a medium bowl, toss the flour with the grated cheese. Evenly spread the cheese over the bottom of the pie crust. Top the cheese with the diced ham. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, salt, pepper and dry mustard. Stir in the green onions.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese.
  • Cover the unbaked quiche with plastic wrap, then with foil, sealing the edges well.
  • Place the prepared quiche in the freezer. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Do not thaw the quiche!
  • Remove the foil and plastic wrap.
  • Place the foil around the edges of the crust to prevent burning.
  • Place the frozen quiche in the oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • To cook the quiche immediately (without freezing first), preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
