¼ tsp hot sauce (adjust for spice level)
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp sour cream
1 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs

For the Crust:

1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175°C).

2. Prepare the Ham

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the diced ham for 3-5 minutes.
This step helps remove excess moisture and intensifies the flavor.
Set the ham aside to cool slightly.

3. Mix the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine:
- Warm ham
- Cream cheese (softened)
- Hot sauce
- Worcestershire sauce
Stir until the cream cheese melts and coats the ham evenly.

4. Assemble the Quiche

Spread the ham mixture evenly into the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions over the top.

5. Prepare the Custard

In a separate bowl, whisk together:
- Eggs
- Sour cream
- Heavy cream
Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the custard mixture carefully over the ham and cheese layers.

6. Bake the Quiche

Place the quiche on the center rack of the oven.
Bake for 60 minutes or until:
- The center is fully set.
- The top is golden brown.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil to prevent burning.

7. Cool & Serve

Let the quiche cool for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
