This week's recipe is super easy to make and I really enjoyed making it. We are not big quiche fans in our home. And, with two family members having gluten intolerances, we really can't have it. But, when I found a product by Gillian's, I had to try it! I was so excited we could have quiche again! YAY! This recipe uses Gillian's Wheat Free & Gluten Free Quiche & Pie Crust. I purchased it from Whole Foods. This gluten free Mexican ham and cheese quiche recipe shows how I made it for my family. Spoiler: it was so delicious!

These are smaller pie crusts than if you made the quiche from scratch so this recipe will make TWO of their quiches. That's OK; the more, the better. We used it for lunch the next day as well as dinner.

Why did I call it "Mexican"?

The pepper jack cheese and canned chilis added a distinct flavor of Mexican cuisine and spice to the quiche. If you like a little more heat, you can add some hot sauce or jalpenos to the top of it before you eat.

Note this is not a sponsored post! I just wanted to share this product with you.

What ingredients are in the Gluten Free Mexican Ham and Cheese Quiche Recipe?

2 Gluten-Free pie crusts ( I used Gillian's Weet Free & Gluten Free Quiche & Pie Crust) - They come in one package.
1 large onion, small chopped
2 tablespoon mild chopped chilis
2 tablespoon butter unsalted
8 large eggs scrambled
2 cups of Pepper Jack Cheese Shredded
1 ham steak, small chopped
One ½ cups of heavy cream
1 pinch of salt and pepper to taste

How to make this delicious Gluten Free Mexican Ham and Cheese Quiche Recipe?

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Add the chopped onions to a skillet with 2 tablespoon of butter and slowly cook on low heat until brown and caramelized. Stir a few times while it is cooking. Right before finishing, add 2 tablespoon of mild chopped chilis from a can to heat through with the onions. Set aside to get to room temperature.

Next, Shred the cheese

Slice the pepper jack cheese into blocks that fit in the food processor. In the Food processor, line up the blocks and turn the food processor on until the pepper jack cheese block is completely shredded. You can also grate them with a handheld grater if you don't have a food processor.

Now, Chop the ham

Chop the ham steak into small ¼-inch cubes. You will only need one ham steak for two of these quiches.

Now, Scramble the eggs

Scramble the eggs and heavy cream in a large bowl using a whisk (Affiliate Link).

Now, add the onions and chilis to the egg mixture. It will feel thick as you stir. That's good.

Add the chopped ham and stir well. Then, add salt and pepper to taste.

Next step: Add the premade pie crusts to the cookie sheet for support

Place the premade pie crusts (GF or regular) on a cookie sheet (Affiliate Link). This will keep the pans stable when moving them to the oven.

Using a ladle, scoop the filling into each of the pie pans evenly. By doing this, you will evenly distribute the chunks of the egg mixture. If you pour it in, you will notice that one will be more liquid than the other.

Cover loosely a sheet of foil on top of both pie pans. This will keep them from burning around the edges.

Bake the Quiche

Bake for 45 minutes. Pull out and test it to make sure the toothpick comes out clean.

Then, let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. You can make it in the morning and then refrigerate it for later.

I found that the filling will make one larger homemade tart if you want to make your own crust. Feel free to visit our other Gluten Free recipes on our blog.

A slice of the Gluten Free Mexican Ham and Cheese Quiche Recipe

The size of the ham, cheese, and onion made a difference when cutting into the quiche. It was easier to slice and remove the pieces and made for a more attractive display.
