  6. Bake:
    • Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  7. Check for Doneness:
    • To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center of the quiche. If it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
  8. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes it easier to cut.
  9. Serve Warm:
    • Serve the ham and cheese quiche warm, either as a main dish or as part of a brunch spread.
