### Instructions
1. **Preheat the Oven**:
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish, quiche dish, or baking dish with a bit of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. **Prepare the Ham and Cheese**:
– In a small bowl, combine the diced ham with the shredded cheese. If you’re using vegetables or a different protein, prepare them accordingly.
3. **Mix the Quiche Base**:
– In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and optional garlic and onion powders. The flour and baking powder will give the quiche its light, custard-like texture, helping the filling set without a crust.
4. **Combine the Ingredients**:
– Stir the ham and cheese mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.
5. **Pour into Baking Dish**:
– Pour the egg, ham, and cheese mixture into the prepared dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top if needed.
6. **Bake the Quiche**:
– Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The quiche should be set but slightly wobbly in the middle.
7. **Cool and Serve**:
– Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
