Directions
Prepare the Egg Mixture:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar baking dish.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream (if using), salt, black pepper, parsley, and paprika until well combined.

Add the Fillings:

Layer the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, onion, and bell pepper (if using) evenly in the prepared dish.

Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Bake the Quiche:

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.

Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

Serve:

• Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
