I can't wait to tell you about this one. Mississippi Sin Quiche takes those tasty party flavors and wraps them up in a breakfast you’ll crave. There’s plenty of gooey cheese, some salty ham, and the crust is totally flaky and perfect. It’s my favorite for making ahead so mornings aren't as crazy, or if friends are stopping by. Trust me, folks always ask for seconds.
Why You'll Flip For This
If you've tasted Mississippi Sin Dip, you already know how good that flavor is—now just imagine it in a dreamy, cheesy pie. Each bite is incredible, I promise. I like it because you can toss in leftover ham or treat the crowd to brunch. You can even stash one in your freezer to make life simple. Busy morning? No stress.
What Goes In It
- The Basics: Grab four eggs, a splash of milk, and your go-to pie crust.
- Creamy Stuff: Sour cream gives it that tang and softness.
- Veggie Power: Chopped green onions add brightness and a bit of bite.
- Bring the Heat: Throw in hot sauce—don’t worry, it won’t dominate.
- The Tasty Pop: Worcestershire sauce is that little something extra.
- Super Cheesy: Load up with shredded cheddar. Don’t be shy!
- Leftover Magic: Dice up a cup of ham—leftovers are awesome here.

Let’s Get Cooking
- Let’s Bake
- Stick it in your oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Look for that puffy center that’s not wobbly. Cool it a bit before you slice.
- Ready That Crust
- Crank your oven to 375°F. Toss your pie crust into a 9-inch pan and make those crimped edges look cute.
- Craft the Filling
- Beat cream cheese until super light, then add sour cream, a dash of Worcestershire, milk, and hot sauce. Mix in eggs one at a time, then fold in ham, shredded cheese, and your green onions.
- Fill It Up
- Spoon your filling right into the pie shell. Smooth it out so it bakes up even.
- Dive In
- This tastes great warm or hanging out at room temp—your pick!
Tips for an Easy Win
If you want to get ahead, freeze it (unbaked) up to 2 months—just tack on a few extra minutes in the oven. Got leftover holiday ham? Use it! Heat lovers can go wild with hot sauce or sprinkle on red pepper flakes for more kick.
Great Sides to Pair Up
This quiche loves a green salad or juicy fruit as its sidekick. For brunch, try some chewy bread or toast. Want a real breakfast spread? Throw it on the table with eggs, beans, or other morning favorites.
How to Keep It Tasting Good
Leftovers? Pop ‘em in the fridge and they’ll last about three days. To warm up, toss a slice in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes. Just a heads up—don’t freeze after it’s baked, the texture goes weird. But freezing before you bake? Works great!

Frequently Asked Questions
- → How can I tell it’s cooked?
It’s done when the middle is set and doesn’t wobble if you gently shake it. You can also check by sticking a knife near the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
- → Can I leave out the crust?
Absolutely! Be sure to grease your dish well with cooking spray, though. Start checking it about 45 minutes into baking since it might cook quicker.
- → Why do I need to warm up the ham?
Heating the ham first helps dry it out so your bake doesn’t end up watery. It’s a small step that keeps the texture just right.
- → How long can I freeze it?
You can store it in the freezer, baked or unbaked, for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly in foil and put it in a freezer bag for best results.
- → Can I swap heavy cream with something lighter?
For sure! Light cream or even half-and-half works fine, though heavy cream gives the richest feel. It’ll still taste awesome either way.
