Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges if desired.
- Layer the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ham, distributing it evenly.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese in the pie crust, ensuring that the filling is evenly distributed.
- Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (to catch any spills) and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. This pie pairs well with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
