Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with butter or oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Egg Base

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

2. Add Dijon mustard (if using), salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Whisk again.

Step 3: Add Fillings

1. Stir in the diced ham, cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.

2. If using, mix in the bell peppers and onions for extra flavor and texture.

Step 4: Bake the Quiche

1. Pour the mixture into the greased pie dish.

2. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

3. To check doneness, insert a knife or toothpick—if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.

Step 5: Cool & Serve

1. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

2. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs (parsley or chives) if desired.
