Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1.5 cups ham, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 2 sheets pie crusts, refrigerated
- 1 large egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until just tender and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour to form a paste (roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly.
Gradually add the milk, whisking until smooth. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, steamed broccoli, sautéed onion and garlic, and the cheese sauce. Mix well to combine.
Roll out one sheet of refrigerated pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges.
Pour the ham and broccoli filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Cover the filling with the second sheet of pie crust. Pinch the edges together to seal and trim any excess pastry. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg to ensure a golden crust.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
