Puff pastry makes this Ham and Cheese Quiche so easy! No dough to prep, just press into the pan, fill and bake — perfect for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or any holiday brunch!
So I realized that, in spite of my love for puff pastry and all the things it can do, I don’t have any recipes using puff pastry on the blog.
Until today.
I love developing recipes. I love coming up with new combinations, and dreaming up totally over the top sweet treats. And sometimes I think I get a little carried away on the sweet side of things, since it’s not those recipes that we’re making and eating every day (well, I hope not, anyway!).
When I asked my Facebook groupwhether they go for sweet or savory breakfast recipes, the results were overwhelmingly savory! Based on the popularity of my Loaded Baked Potato Quicheand Mini Wonton Quiche, I knew then that I had to do some rearranging of my plans and include one more savory brunch recipe before Mother’s Day.
This quiche looks impressive, but it’s easy enough for those men (and older kiddos!) who maybe don’t feel like whipping up pastry from scratch to impress their lady. Simply press the pastry into the pie plate, fill with your favorite toppings (feel free to mix things up!), top with the egg mixture, and bake! It doesn’t get any easier!

Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed but cold (if frozen, let thaw in the fridge for 24 hours)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup diced, cooked ham
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese of choice
- 2 green onions sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease an 8-9″ pie plate.
Roll puff pastry out to larger than the size of your pie plate. Press pastry into the pie plate, folding over, stretching and squishing until it fits, trimming if desired.
In a medium bowl (or large measuring cup with a spout), whisk together milk, eggs and salt. Sprinkle ham, ½ cup cheese and green onions on top of the pastry. Pour egg mixture over top and sprinkled with remaining ¼ cup cheese.
Bake for 25-35 minutes until pastry is golden brown and eggs are completely set.

Delicious and easy! I shredded gruyere and used pre-sliced ham (it was what I had on hand) and it was really good! The only problem is I made it as a trial run for Easter and now I have all this yummy quiche and no one else here to eat it! I’ll definitely make it again on Easter morning. Thanks so much

Absolutely gorgeous, and my first time making quiche! I made a vegetarian version of this with cheese, tomatoes, spring onions and celery. My husband and I absolutely loved it and it was so easy to make! Tastes even better the next day too! This will be a new regular in our house.

I was wondering what to do with my extra piece of puff pastry. I usually don’t use crust on my quiches but since I had an extra sheet of puff pastry, I decided to take the leap and try something different. I’m glad I did! Great quiche! ♥️

Does the pastry need to be blind baked first?

Can you make this the night before and put in oven the next morning?

Hi Shannon, puff pastry tends to dry out once you’ve defrosted it. I would not recommend prepping ahead of time. I would go ahead and bake them. Then if you need to reheat you could do that.

This was my first attempt at quiche and it turned out great! I used 6 eggs because I just needed to get rid of them so added a little extra milk (actually half and half because that needed to be used up too). It all cooked up beautifully and my boyfriend told me to add this into the dinner rotation. If I ever host a brunch would definitely make this!

Could you add in either spinach, or chopped brocoli florets, or even asparagus tips?

I’m sure either one of them would work! Enjoy!

This is my ‘go to’ recipe for all my brunches. Simple and delicious ! And also almost always have ingredients available as long as I keep some puffed pastry in the freezer.
I didn’t make a quiche for years as every other recipe was requiring cream and ingredients that I Don’t always have.Thank you!
