3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese in the pie crust.

6. Let the quiche cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired.
