Heat oven to 375°F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie. Do not prick crust. Bake 10 minutes. If necessary, use flat bottom of metal measuring cup to carefully press down on baked pie crust to flatten. Cool 10 minutes.

Step 2

Layer ham and 1/2 cup of the cheese in bottom of pie plate. In medium bowl, beat eggs and half-and-half with whisk. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the thyme, the salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over ham and cheese. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.

Step 3

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil after 15 to 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with remaining 1/2 teaspoon thyme. Cut into wedges to serve.
