This mouthwatering Mississippi Sin Quiche takes ordinary meals to new heights. When ham meets velvety cheeses with a touch of spice, you get something unforgettable. Whether for midday gatherings or evening feasts, this thick, rich quiche makes everyone ask for seconds.
A Memorable Dish
The dish transforms when the cream cheese blends into the mixture and the sharp cheddar browns beautifully on top. A splash of hot sauce brings all flavors to life. What I adore most is how it tastes fantastic whether you eat it hot or cooled down.
Your Ingredient Checklist
Grab some tasty diced ham, cream cheese, and sharp cheddar as your flavor foundation. Chopped green onions bring freshness, while hot sauce and Worcestershire add complexity. The mix of heavy cream, sour cream, and eggs creates that silky smooth filling. Don't forget a deep pie shell to hold all this goodness.
Building Your Quiche
Get your oven going at 350ºF as you lightly cook the ham. Blend your warmed ham with cream cheese and spices until it's creamy. Put everything into your crust, scatter cheese and onions over top. Add your egg mixture and bake until it turns golden and firms up, taking around 60 minutes.

Amazing Results
Cooking the ham first really boosts the taste. You can make it the night before if you want - it actually tastes better after sitting overnight. Enjoy it straight from the oven or after it cools down to room temp.
Keep It Fresh
Best eaten within three days when kept covered in your fridge. Warm it up slowly in a 325°F oven and stay away from the microwave. Don't try freezing as it'll mess up that wonderful creamy texture.
Quick Answers
Feel free to swap in Swiss or Gruyère cheese for new flavors. Prepare it a day early for stress-free hosting. Toss in your preferred veggies but cook them beforehand.
Make It Your Own
Try bacon or sausage instead of ham. Go meatless with a mix of cooked veggies. Add some fresh herbs to change up the taste profile each time you make it.
Why You'll Love It
This quiche connects folks at both casual get-togethers and fancy affairs. Everyone falls for the buttery crust paired with that rich filling. It's become what I turn to whenever I want to share tasty food and create lasting memories.
