Rustic Broccoli Ham Quiche

While trying to think about what to post to give you all an Easter idea, I thought about this quiche. I had some leftover bone-in ham from a ham roast we had a few weeks ago and thought this would be a perfect idea. Another bonus was that it was my husband’s birthday and he loves all egg breakfasts so I thought I could make it for him for a treat!

I am not a huge fan of quiches, but I also really enjoyed this one. It had a lot of flavour which really helped me enjoy it.

We are still learning when it comes to pie crusts and maybe some day I will feel comfortable enough to blog about it, but for now I will just tell you to find your favourite pie crust recipe or buy one for this recipe.

This recipe is for a 9 inch deep dish pie crust. If you buy one in a foil pan, it will be a shallow crust and you will likely not be able to fit all the filling in it. This however, is not a problem. You can just put the leftover filling in a little baking dish and bake a crustless quiche. I did this and have a picture of it below.

To begin, chop your onions and garlic. Throw a bit of butter in a frying pan and saute the onions and garlic until translucent.

While you are doing that, you can also be chopping your broccoli and ham. You will need to shred the cheese as well. After you have shredded it, toss it with flour and set aside. This quiche is very adaptable. If you don’t have the cheese kinds I used here, feel free to swap them for ones you have. You could use all cheddar as well, or use mozzarella or Swiss. This is entirely up to you.

You then need to mix the eggs. Whisk your eggs together. Add the milk and seasonings and whisk. Then stir ham, cheese, broccoli, and onions into the eggs.

Pour this into the unbaked pie crust.

Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until set.

Enjoy! Happy Easter!
