Let me share one of my favorite recipes that combines two classics Mississippi sin dip and quiche. It's loaded with ham three kinds of cheese and the most amazing seasonings. I love making this for weekend brunches or when I'm hosting friends. The best part? It works for any meal of the day and everyone always asks for the recipe.
Why This Will Become Your Go-To
I came up with this recipe when I couldn't decide between making a quiche or my favorite Mississippi sin dip. Trust me combining them was the best decision ever. It's got all that cheesy creamy goodness you love in the dip but in a beautiful slice of quiche. Plus it's so easy to make ahead which is perfect when you're hosting.
Your Shopping List
- Ham: I like mine diced small gets more in every bite
- Cheddar Cheese: Get the good stuff and grate it yourself
- Sour Cream: Makes everything extra creamy
- Worcestershire Sauce: The secret ingredient that makes it special
- Seasonings: Garlic and onion powder are must-haves
- Fresh Eggs: They're the star of the show
- Pie Crust: Homemade or store-bought both work great
Let's Make It Together
- Start with the Crust
- First get your oven heated to 375°. Roll out that crust and get it into your pie dish. I like to give it a quick 10-minute pre-bake it keeps it nice and flaky.
- Mix Your Filling
- Now for the fun part. Whisk those eggs until they're nice and fluffy then mix in your sour cream Worcestershire and seasonings. Fold in that ham and cheese it'll smell amazing already.
- Put It All Together
- Pour everything into your pre-baked crust. I always add an extra sprinkle of cheese on top because why not?
- Bake to Perfection
- Pop it in the oven for about 30 minutes. You'll know it's done when the top is golden and the center is just set. Let it rest for a few minutes before cutting everyone will be waiting.
My Best Tips
- Don't Skip Pre-Baking: That quick pre-bake makes such a difference in the crust
- Mix Up Your Cheese: Sometimes I use Gruyère or Swiss just to change things up
- Make It Early: This is actually better when made a day ahead the flavors get even better
- Add Some Heat: A pinch of cayenne makes everything pop
Keeping It Fresh
This quiche keeps beautifully in the fridge for about three days. When you're ready to enjoy it again warm it up in the oven at 325° for about 15 minutes. The microwave works too but the oven keeps that crust nice and crispy.
Perfect Pairings
I love serving this quiche with a fresh green salad on the side the crispness goes so well with the creamy filling. For brunch I'll add some fresh fruit and maybe some crusty bread. It's such an easy way to make any meal feel special even just a regular weekday lunch.

What Makes It So Good
You know what makes this quiche extra special? It takes everything we love about that creamy cheesy Mississippi sin dip and turns it into something you can eat for any meal. The flaky crust the rich filling and all those amazing seasonings come together to make every bite perfect.
Make It Your Own
- Switch Up the Cheese: Try Colby Jack or Swiss they're both amazing in this
- Change the Meat: Crispy bacon or breakfast sausage work great too
- Go Veggie: Skip the meat and load it up with mushrooms and spinach instead
- Spice it Up: Add some diced jalapeños if you're feeling brave
- Watch Your Carbs: Make it crustless just butter your dish well first
When You're Hosting
I love making this for company because it looks so pretty coming out of the oven. I usually bake it in my favorite ceramic pie dish and sprinkle some fresh herbs on top before serving. Set it out with some colorful sides and watch everyone's eyes light up when they see it.
Perfect for Any Gathering
This is my go-to recipe when I'm hosting brunch or need something for a potluck. It's so nice that I can make it ahead and just warm it up when needed. Plus it travels well and tastes amazing whether it's hot or room temperature. Sometimes I'll make two because it disappears so quickly.
Using Up Leftovers
Got leftovers? You're in for a treat. I love turning slices into the most amazing breakfast sandwiches. Sometimes I'll chop it up and toss it with some fresh greens for a quick lunch salad. Or try crumbling it into a skillet with some veggies for a whole new breakfast scramble it's incredible.
Why Everyone Loves It
This quiche just hits all the right notes. That creamy cheesy filling the savory ham and those bold seasonings make every bite something special. It's comfort food that feels a little fancy but is still totally approachable. No wonder it's become one of my most requested recipes.
Perfect Drink Pairings
When I serve this for brunch I love setting out some mimosas or a crisp white wine. For everyday meals I'll do iced tea or fresh orange juice. And don't forget about coffee the rich flavors of the quiche go perfectly with your morning cup. It's all about making each meal feel a little special.
