Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges.
Blind bake the crust for 15 minutes. To blind bake, line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pepper, and nutmeg.
Sprinkle the diced country ham and cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked crust.
Pour the egg mixture over the ham and cheese.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
