Bake
SetBake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the centre is set and no longer jiggly when gently shaken.
Slice and serve
Let it rest a few minutes, then cut the quiche into 6 wedges and serve warm with a green salad or fresh fruit.
Cook's noteDon't skip the half and half — it gives the eggs a creamy custard texture rather than a spongy frittata feel; you can swap the ham for bacon or sausage and any cheese you like.
