Crust:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• ⅓ cup dried cranberries
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
2. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture and use a fork to mix until the dough comes together. If needed, add 1 more tablespoon of water.
4. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
2. Stir in the shredded cheese, diced ham, dried cranberries, and chopped parsley.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Take the pie crust out of the refrigerator and pour the filling into the crust.
3. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
4. Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before serving.
