Leftover Ham Pie

Baked Ham is one of my family’s favorite Easter, Christmas, and all-year dishes, and as much as we adore a ham, we enjoy the leftovers even more!

I still have leftover ham.  Lots and lots of ham.  I bought a ham big enough for Christmas dinner, dinner the next day, this leftover ham pie (leftover ham quiche) and guess what?  I still have more left. 

I’m going to freeze the rest and make ham and bean soup with the bone, some beans and veggies {I’ll be posting that recipe ~ my Daddy’s ~  when I make it}. 

Can This Leftover Ham Pie (Quiche) be Frozen?

Yes, it can! If you are totally done with ham but want to keep this on hand for a future breakfast or dinner, it’s very easy to freeze using the simple steps below.

Ingredients:

• 1 frozen pre-made pie crust
• 2 cups of leftover ham cubed or cut up.  I used kitchen shears to cut my spiral cut ham since the slices were too thin for cubes, into bite-sized pieces.
• 1 cup of shredded cheese ~ use any flavor you choose {Colby jack, Swiss, cheddar, etc.)
• 5 eggs
• 3/4 cup heavy cream

 Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Place the unbaked pie crust into your pie pan.
3. Layer the ham as your first layer placing the shredded cheese on top of that.
4. Next, mix your eggs and cream together {think scrambled eggs} and gently pour that over the top of your first two layers.
5. Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is nicely browned and the eggs are set.

Enjoy!
