Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine potatoes and butter until evenly coated. Press potatoes into bottom and up sides of prepared pie plate to form a crust. Bake 30 minutes, or until crust begins to brown.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine eggs, half-and-half, and pepper; mix well.

Sprinkle cheeses and ham over crust. Pour egg mixture slowly over cheeses and return to oven.

Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake 30 minutes, or until set in center. Let cool 5 minutes; slice and serve.
