Gruyere, Ham And Arugula Quiche

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place a 9-inch removable tart pan on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside. If using homemade pie dough, allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before using.

Step 3

When the dough is ready, roll out the dough into a large 10-inch round or square (depending on what type of tart pan you're using), about 1/8-inch thick. Place the dough into the pan and line the bottom and sides with the pastry. Use your hands to press down gently on the dough adhere. Set aside.

Step 5

Assembling the Tart: Sprinkle cheese on the bottom of the tart followed by the ham and arugula. Make sure to spread out evenly.

Step 7

In a small mixing bowl add the eggs, cream, half-n-half, salt, cayenne pepper white pepper, nutmeg, and dry mustard, and whisk until well blended.

Step 9

Pour the egg mixture into the filled tart pan. Place in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the tart to cool slightly before serving.
