Ham and Broccoli Quiche


This was a very easy dish to prepare, and though the kids had qualms at first, once they tried it they liked it. Though the pie crust makes this so its not as healthy as it could be, we all agreed that was the really tasty part. I found this recipe through a google search for a ham and broccoli quiche and it didn't have any credits. Thank you to whoever.

Ham and Broccoli Quiche

1 package pillsbury prepared pie crusts
1/2 lb. ham
1 cup chopped onions
16 oz. frozen broccoli
5 eggs beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup swiss or monterey jack cheese (I had neither of those so I used cheddar)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Spray 2, 9" pie pans with Pam and press in the pie crusts. A 9X13 also works, you just have to trim the crusts to fit into it.

Brown onions in a large skillet.

The recipe didn't say anything about thawing the broccoli so I stuck it in with the onions for a while when I beat the eggs and grated cheese.

Stir the onions and broccoli together with ham and cheese.

(I also made one addition at this point by putting in a layer of sliced zucchini at the bottom)

Layer ham/broccoli mix in next.

Stir together beaten eggs and milk and pour over the top.

I pressed the crust down to the level of the filling at this point so it wouldn't get to crisp.

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (Mine came out great at 45)


Sorry if my instructions are a little muddled because I only copied the ingredients and basics down and gave you instructions of what I did.

We served it with ketchup and salsa to convince the kids to eat it, but I liked it just the way it was.

Try it, you'll like it.

I absolutely LOVE quiche! But I had decided not to admit it since I know everything thinks I'm crazy for loving sushi. I am def going to have to try this recipe!
