Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated deep dish pie crust
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh broccoli chopped small
  • 3/4 cup cooked ham diced small
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded gouda cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare pie crust as directed on the package for one crust using a 9-inch pie plate.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add in broccoli and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until broccoli has softened slightly.
  • Place the cooked veggies into the bottom of crust.
  • Sprinkle ham over the top of the veggies.
  • Sprinkle Gouda over the top of the ham.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dry mustard together and beat well.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the top of the quiche.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until quiche is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center of the quiche comes out clean. Let the quiche cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Swap the ham for bacon or sausage if you prefer.
  • Add some veggies like spinach, diced red pepper, or mushrooms.
  • Feel free to use a tart pan instead of a pie plate to give your quiche a different shape!
  • If your crust becomes too brown as the quiche is baking, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  • Allow the quiche too cool for at least 20 minutes before serving. This allows the quiche time to set up properly and hold its shape once sliced.
  • Preparing in advance: this broccoli quiche recipe can be prepared up to two days in advance. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you're ready to bake.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Freezing: allow your ham and broccoli quiche to cool to room temperature before wrapping with both plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to three months. Allow the quiche to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • To reheat your quiche, preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and bake until just heated through, about 15 minutes.
