1 cup broccoli florets, steamed or blanched 🥦
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 🧀
-
4 large eggs

1 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk for a lighter option 🥛)
-
1/2 tsp salt 🧂
-
1/4 tsp black pepper
-
1/4 tsp garlic powder
-
1/4 tsp onion powder
-
Optional: 1/4 tsp dried thyme or oregano for an herby twist 🌿
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prep 🔥
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with a little butter or non-stick spray.
2. Layer the Goodness 🍖🥦🧀
In a bowl, combine:
-
Diced ham
-
Steamed or blanched broccoli
-
Shredded cheddar cheese
Spread this mixture evenly over the bottom of your prepared baking dish.
3. Mix the Eggs 🥚
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
-
Eggs
-
Milk
-
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder
-
Optional herbs (if using)
4. Assemble & Pour 💧
Pour the egg mixture over the ham, broccoli, and cheese.
Gently stir the filling in the pan to distribute evenly.
5. Bake to Golden Perfection ⏲️
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until:
-
The center is set (a knife or toothpick comes out clean)
-
The top is lightly golden
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing — this helps the quiche firm up and makes for prettier slices! 🍴
