Ingredients | Broccoli And Blue Cheese Quiche

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets

2 tablespoons butter

1 onion, minced

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

1 ½ cups diced cooked ham

1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 cup milk

4 eggs, beaten

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Press the pie crust ito a 9-inch pie plate; set aside.

Place broccoli in a glass bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Cook broccoli in microwave in 1-minute intervals until evenly heated through, about 5 minutes total; set aside.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in melted butter until slightly translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir ham and broccoli into the onion mixture and transfer to the pie crust.

Beat Cheddar cheese, milk, eggs, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour over the ham mixture. Sprinkle paprika over the entire quiche.

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes.

You can substitute fresh broccoli (2 cups) instead of steamed. I have added this to the saucepan to cook with the onions and garlic until soft. I also used a mixture of Cheddar and provolone cheese. I would think mushrooms and red peppers might make this even better, but my family is picky.
