Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 (9-inch) frozen ready-to-bake pie crust (Deep Dish)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
  • 1 and ½ cups diced/cubed Clifty Farm Country Ham Seasoning Pieces, cooked
  • 2 cup colby jack cheese, freshly grated
  • Optional garnish: chopped chives
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Place unwrapped frozen pie crust on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to slightly cool for 10-15 min.
  3. Add the butter to skillet over medium high heat.
  4. Add diced onion and saute, 3-5 minutes or until soft and translucent. Remove, set aside, and allow to slightly cool.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten.
  6. Whisk in the half-and-half, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper (to taste; be mindful as ham will add saltiness).
  7. Gently stir in the cubed ham and both cheeses. Stir in the cooked onion.
  8. Pour filling into the par-baked pie crust (still on the baking sheet) and bake on your lower oven rack (not the top one) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until set and very slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. ENJOY!
