Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup ham
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using a pre-made pie crust, place it in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges as desired. Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes to prevent sogginess.
While the crust bakes, steam the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender but still bright green. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the ham evenly across the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Layer the steamed broccoli on top of the ham.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the broccoli and ham layers.
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, ensuring it fills all the gaps and spreads evenly across the surface.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
