Description
This Ham and Broccoli Quiche Recipe is so easy to make, all you need is eggs, cream, a bit of leftover holiday ham plus a few more ingredients and you’ll have a dish that rivals the results from any gourmet restaurant!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 deep dish, 9 inch pie crust or 2 regular pie crusts (Deep dish – store bought or make your own. If you use the 1 deep dish plate you will probably have filling left over)
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/2Â cups heavy cream or half and half
- 1 1/2 cups diced ham
- 1 cup chopped broccoli florets (pre-cooked to crisp-tender)
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar (I used Colby jack and it was super yummy)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 f. Â Line pie dish with crust and prebake for 10 minutes.
- In large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and cream together. Â Add remaining ingredients. Â Combine well.
- Pour egg mixture into prebaked pie crust.
- Reduce oven to 350 f. Â Bake quiche about 45 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Use heavy cream for a more decadent quiche.
- You need to use a deep dish pie crust to fit all the filling into 1 pie, so depending on the depth of your pie plate, you may not be able to fit all of the egg mixture into your crust.  (Most store-bought crusts that comes in a throw-away tin are not deep dish. If you don’t have a big enough deep dish pie plate, just use 2 regular pie plates.)
