01Method

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

   Fit the pastry into a 9-inch pie plate and blind-bake for 5 minutes. Pierce the base with a fork, then continue baking until lightly golden, about 5 more minutes. Remove the crust and lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).

   Combine half the cheddar with the Swiss cheese and half the flour; distribute evenly over the warm crust.

4. 4

   Stir the ham together with the honey mustard and spoon the mixture over the cheese layer.

5. 5

   Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, green onions, the remaining flour, and salt until combined.

6. 6

   Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham layer, then scatter the remaining cheddar on top.

7. 7

   Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–50 minutes, until the filling is firm in the center. Allow to cool briefly before slicing and serving.
