Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Fillings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked and chopped ham
  • ¾ cup broccoli, chopped small
  • ¼ cup yellow onion, diced

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped parsley or green onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Add Fillings: Gently fold in the cooked ham, chopped broccoli, diced onion, and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Pour Into Dish: Pour the quiche mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform baking.
  5. Bake: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top has turned golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley or green onion and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the ham with cooked bacon or sausage for different flavor variations.
  • Milk of choice can be whole, skim, or a non-dairy alternative like almond or soy milk.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers for more variety.
  • Make sure to cook the ham and vegetables beforehand to avoid excess moisture in the quiche.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing to help it set properly and prevent crumbling.
