Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1.5 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Diced ham
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Unroll the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any overhang. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Step 3

Par-bake the crust by lining it with parchment paper and filling it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for another 5 minutes. Let the crust cool slightly.

Step 4

While the crust cools, steam the broccoli florets until they are tender but still slightly crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Set the broccoli aside to cool.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.

Step 6

Spread the diced ham evenly over the bottom of the par-baked crust. Layer the steamed broccoli on top of the ham, followed by an even sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Slowly and evenly pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the pie crust, ensuring it covers the ingredients but does not overflow.

Step 8

Carefully place the quiche on the center rack of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
