This savory tart combines the classic flavors of ham and cheese with a creamy custard filling, baked to perfection in a flaky crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a smooth custard.
Stir in the cooked ham and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
Distribute the ham and cheese evenly for consistent flavor.
Place the pie shell in a pie dish and pour the filling mixture into the shell.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Check the tart by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
Let the tart cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Cooling allows the filling to set, making slicing easier.
