Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and ham in butter until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in morel mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms release their liquid, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in black pepper and remove from heat.

Bake crust in the preheated oven just until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Whisk eggs, cream, and flour in a bowl until well blended; stir in Colby-Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 6

Spread ham and mushroom mixture into the pie crust and pour egg mixture over the filling.

Step 7

Bake quiche in the preheated oven until crust is browned and the filling is set and lightly browned, about 45 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
