Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2–3 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked ham (diced into small cubes) and sauté for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
Gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked ham, and blanched broccoli florets.
Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Ensure the edges are crimped neatly, and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Pour the broccoli, ham, and cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Allow the pie to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
