Filling:
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a deep 9-inch pie dish and set aside.

- Fill the crust: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top.
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Rest and garnish: Let the quiche rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with green onions or parsley, if desired.
