Knead flour, salt, cold butter in small pieces, and 1-2 tablespoons of cold water into a shortcrust pastry. Wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes. Grease a 24 cm pie or springform pan, line with the pastry, and bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for 10 minutes. Brown the ham over low heat, then remove from the fat. Dice the onion and sauté in the frying fat until translucent, adding a little butter if desired. Finely chop the spring onions and sauté briefly. Coarsely grate the cheese. Spread the ham cubes, onion, and cheese on the pastry. Whisk together the cream, milk, egg, and egg yolk, a pinch of salt, pepper, nutmeg, and chives, and add to the mixture. Bake at 200°C for 25-30 minutes.
