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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the ham evenly across the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Layer the steamed broccoli on top of the ham.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the broccoli and ham layers.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, ensuring it fills all the gaps and spreads evenly across the surface.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 9

Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
