CHEESY BROCCOLI & HAM QUICHE

Posted by on Dec 8, 2008 in Recipes | 14 comments

 

I am happy to say that I am trying out a new recipe this week. I have never before had a quiche, so I was excited when I found a recipe online for a basic quiche. It was really plain, it had nothing in it but eggs and cheese. Well, the experimenter in me decided to add a few things to it and that is when I came up with the recipe for the Cheesy Broccoli and Ham Quiche. It’s really easy and simple to make and as everyone knows I am all about that. So here is my menu for the week followed by the recipe for this yummy quiche.

CHEESY BROCCOLI & HAM QUICHE (8 servings)

 


Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup of biscuit baking mix
  • 1/2 stick of butter, softened
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups ham, cubed
  • 1/2 cup onions, sauteed
  • 12 ounces of chopped broccoli, (defrosted if frozen)
  • 1/2 tsp each black pepper, onion powder and garlic salt

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
  • Dice up on small onion and saute it with a little bit of the butter and all of the seasonings.
  • While the onions are sauteing, mix together the milk, egss, biscuit baking mix, butter and Parmesan cheese.
  • Add the ham, cheddar cheese, broccoli and sauteed onions to the mixture.
  • Pour the mixtures into a baking dish and bake for 40 minutes to an hour. (You will know it is done once a butter knife is inserted in the center and it comes out clean.)

 

  • Once the quiche is done, let it cool for five minutes then enjoy.

    I used to love making quiche in college. Quick, easy and inexpensive. It worked for me! I am not into the quiche so much anymore but thanks for helping me bring up some fond memories.

    Quiche is one of my favorite discoveries as an adult. I hated it as a kid. Yours doesn’t seem to have a crust. Am I missing it? This could be a great option for my kids who like the eggs, ham and chees but don’t like the crust. Thanks!

    YUM! Ham, cheese and broccoli is a favorite combo of mine. My kids won’t eat it though. They’re sooooo picky, it drives me nuts!

    Dear Stephanie,

    I am not a fan of crust, so I decided to omit it from this recipe. I guess that this is just a basic recipe, but it taste oh so good. I am in love with it and have already made plans to try different things in it.

    Take care,
    Shynea

    Dear Heather,

    I love ham, cheese and broccoli together too. It is a delicious combo. Maybe you could make this for your husband as a date night dinner. It’s really quick and simple and if you cut the ingredients in half, it makes enough for four servings.

    Take care,
    Shynea

    This looks so good. Thanks for sharing. I will make but I think I am going to try to lighten it with skim milk, light butter sticks, and light baking mix. Oh this looks so good, THANKS!
