Ham and Broccoli Quiche
This Ham and Broccoli Quiche combines cooked ham, cheddar cheese, and chopped broccoli in a deep-dish pie crust, bound by an egg and whole milk custard seasoned with dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Baked until set with a golden top, the quiche offers a rich and savory custard with bites of tender broccoli and flavorful ham, suitable for breakfast, brunch, or a light meal.
Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust thawed, frozen, deep-dish
- 1 ½ cups ham cooked, cubed
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese grated, 1 ½ cups
- 1 cup broccoli florets thawed, drained, and chopped into small pieces, frozen
- 4 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon dry ground mustard
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Layer ham, cheese, and broccoli in the pie crust.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, ground mustard, and pepper.
- Pour egg mixture over the broccoli. Gently use your fingers to press the broccoli and other filling ingredients into an even layer in the dish.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the quiche to rest for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use whole milk or heavy cream for best custard texture; avoid skim or 1% milk.
- Check doneness by inserting a knife; it should come out clean when fully baked.
- Allow the quiche to rest 20-30 minutes before slicing to firm up the custard.
- This quiche can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold.
