Ingredients List:
1 9-inch deep dish pie shell
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 Tbsp butter
4 oz smoked ham, chopped and divided
1 1/2 cups colby jack or cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup heavy cream
6 large eggs
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp ground mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375Β°F. Prick the bottom of a frozen pie shell using a fork. Bake for 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a small skillet, melt the butter. Cook the sliced green onion, green pepper, and red pepper until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Layer 1/2 of the ham and 1/2 of the shredded cheese on the bottom of the par-baked pie shell.
Whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, and seasonings until fully combined. Add the cooked vegetables to the custard.
Pour 1/2 over the first layer of ham and cheese, then repeat with ham, cheese, and custard.
Place onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Lower the oven temperature to 350Β°F and continue to cook for an additional 30-40 minutes.
Rest on a cooling rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
