Prepare Pie Crust recipe as directed or purchase store bought pie pastry.
Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Roll out dough so that it is a couple inches larger than the pie plate you're baking it in.
Press the pie crust into the pie plate. Trim any edges that are very long, then fold the overhang under and pinch to form a thick crust edge.
Blind bake: place a piece of parchment paper in the center of the unbaked pie crust. Fill with pie weights or dried beans.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are very light golden brown. Remove pie weights and parchment and bake for another 10 minutes or until bottom of pie crust looks dry and is starting to brown. Cool slightly and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, salt and pepper.
Sprinkle ham, 1 cup of cheese, and green onions into the pie crust and pour the egg mixture over top. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes until light golden brown. Cover with foil to prevent additional browning.
Bake another 10-20 minutes until the center is completely set. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
