Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
  2. Combine flour and butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, stirring just until dough holds together.
  4. Press dough into each muffin cup, building a 1/8-inch shell along bottom and sides; chill for 10 minutes.
  5. Whisk eggs and cream in a bowl until smooth and slightly frothy.
  6. Stir in ham and cheese along with salt, pepper, and optional chives.
  7. Fill crusts ¾ full with the creamy filling, then bake until centers are just set, about 18-22 minutes.
  8. Cool quiches in the tin for 5 minutes before gently unmolding.
