⏱A lighter take on quiche that digests faster than the traditional version. The Greek yogurt custard and lean ham keep protein moderate without the heavy cream that can cause discomfort mid-run.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges.

Filling

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Filling

Distribute the diced ham and shredded Swiss cheese evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.

Filling

Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese. Sprinkle the chopped chives over the top.

Filling

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
