Instructions

- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley or green onion and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the ham with cooked bacon or sausage for different flavor variations.
- Milk of choice can be whole, skim, or a non-dairy alternative like almond or soy milk.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for more variety.
- Make sure to cook the ham and vegetables beforehand to avoid excess moisture in the quiche.
