Ham and Broccoli Quiche with Gouda
Thank you to Arla Dofino for sponsoring today’s recipe for Ham and Broccoli Quiche with Gouda. All opinions expressed here are my own.
This Ham and Broccoli Quiche with Gouda is the perfect warm breakfast during the holiday season. Made with creamy and delicious gouda cheese, this is a breakfast worth waking up for!
I love how special breakfast can be during the holidays. Maybe it’s just the time of year when the weather gets a little cooler (even here in Hawaii!) that makes me want to trade in my bowl of cold cereal for a breakfast that’s a bit more warm and comforting. Well y’all, it just doesn’t get much more comforting than this yummy plate of Ham and Broccoli Quiche with Arla Dofino Gouda. Seriously. THAT CHEESE!
The Arla Dofino brand of cheese includes a delicious range of family-friendly cheese types such as Havarti, Gouda, Edam, Muenster and Fontina. Not only are their cheeses naturally good from farm to fridge, they are also free of added hormones and preservatives, and crafted with quality, natural ingredients in an environmentally friendly way. Arla cheeses have been traditionally crafted in Wisconsin for more than 100 years, so they know what they’re doing!
Now if you’re thinking that quiche means a lot of work, I’m here to tell you how easy this is. You can actually prep this the night before and pop it in the oven to cook while you’re busy getting ready for the day.
With so much going on during the holidays from shopping to entertaining guests, it’s important to keep yourself fueled and ready to tackle whatever comes your way. By prepping this quiche ahead of time, it’s the perfect, easy breakfast for your family during the week. Plus, that amazing Gouda makes it’s elegant and special enough to serve to holiday guests on the weekend! Win win!
Enjoy y’all!

Thank you so much, Miz Helen!
Back story: My two favorite cheeses are Gouda and Havarti. I mean, no other cheese… you know.
I chose this: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/79516749646662191/
Because hot ham and cheese is a gift from God, for starters. Using waffles to make it a sandwich? This is pretty much a genius move.
Oops… I got so excited I forgot to leave the link: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/79516749646662191/
Oh I agree, total genius! And Havarti and Gouda are the best!!! I’m a huge Gouda fan myself now. 🙂

The Mushroom Meatball and Bacon Hero with Melted Creamy Havarti Slices look so yummy! Anything bacon and you can count my husband and me in. 🙂
Candace, I think that’s my favorite one, too! Mmmmm bacon. 🙂
I love quiche and that looks amazing!!
Thank you so much, Amanda!
I would make the Ham and Havarti Waffle Sandwich https://www.pinterest.com/pin/79516749646662191/
I follow on Pinterest!
Good luck! And that one sounds so good! 🙂

Those sound delicious, Bryn! I love how they’re made in the muffin pan!
This one has a terrific flavor combination in my book! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/79516749646662206/
Oh I could eat a mini mountain of those! Yummy!
Such a beautiful breakfast/brunch recipe and a great giveaway!! Sounds like fun! I love this pin: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/79516749646662191/
Yum! That one does sound good, Jaren! 🙂
Definitely craving a slice (or two) of this delicious quiche right now, it looks SO good!
Thank you so much, Thalia! 🙂
I wish your quiche recipe was an option! Yum! I love quiche, great for any meal!
So being a vegetarian, I’m going to have to tweak yours and the recipie I chose a little; I can totally appreciate that the ham really makes them, but I’ll just have to enjoy with tomato or something instead 🙂 these breakfast tarts looked amazing, like a savory taste strudel! http://www.thenaptimechef.com/2014/07/summer-dinner-havarti-ham-tart/
Love your blog! Everything always sounds so delecious and your photography is excellent, really makes me eager to make your creations at home! 🙂
Oh Jamie, you are just the sweetest. 🙂 Thank you so much for all of your kind words, you’ve just totally made my whole day. And girl, I think tomatoes would be amazing in place of the ham. Maybe even sundried ones! And you could always add a little more cheese, too. 🙂
This is one seriously good looking, yet simple quiche. Pinning!
I checked out the board you said to go to and its breakfast offerings were quite scant, but they did have one yummy looking waffle sandwich. Here’s the link. http://gourmandeinthekitchen.com/2014/dark-chocolate-macaroon-thumbprint-cookies/
Thank you, Michelle! And that waffle sandwich does sound pretty good! 🙂
The http://www.pinterest.com/pin/79516749646662209/ because I love cornbread and chili together. I never thought to add some cheese to it to give it a little kick and more flavor.
That does sound good, LaTanya! YUM!
I would love this waffle, ham and cheese sammie for breakfast. It reminds me of the continental breakfast we ate every morning at our hotel in Rome. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/79516749646662191/
Oooo, that ham and cheese sammie does sound so good, but it sounds even BETTER in Rome! What a fun trip!
You had me at Cheese! LOVE gouda!!
Me too, Sharon! Gouda lovers unite. 🙂
You can prep this the night before and then just pop it in the oven in the morning? Sold! I love most any kind of cheese and gouda is one of my favorites. The combination of flavors in this recipe sounds incredible!
Yes Kristine, you can totally prep the night before! I’d wait to pour it in the crust until right before baking, but otherwise yes! And Gouda and I are new BFFs. LOVE it!
I grew up on quiches and yours looks great! Love the broccoli layer in there too!
Thank you, Ginny! My mom used to make a lot of quiches when we were growing up, too. They’re kind of like comfort food!
Another amazingly awesome meal! Breakfast or dinner would be great!
Thanks girl! We ate it for both and loved it!
This quiche is gorgeous! I would love this for breakfast on a cold morning – or even lunch or dinner! i’ve never had that brand of cheese before, I need to try it!
Thank you, Cate! The cheese melts amazingly well, it’s my new favorite. 🙂
First, how did I not know that you live in Hawaii!? Jealous!! Second, gorgeous step by step photos!!
Beth, yes we are so lucky to be in Hawaii! We absolutely love it here. Though this time of year, I’d love a few snowy days like you have up north! 🙂
Oh look at that cheese. I love cheese, haha. This looks yummy. I wonder if it would be frowned upon for breakfast?
I love me some cheese, too, Leslie! And I can promise you there was no frowning going on at our breakfast table, just lots of “mmming.” I think gouda is the new breakfast of champions! 🙂
The perfect holiday quiche – I’ll be right over for brunch!
I’ll save you a seat, Melanie!
This is fantastic! I make quiches a lot but I have never added broccoli! And the lighting in your photos is wonderful! 🙂
Thanks girl! You just made my day. 🙂
This looks like one of the best quiche I’ve ever seen! Love the flavors, especially the gouda!
Thank you, Sheena! The gouda just totally takes it to the next level!
