Ham & Broccoli Quiche

Last time my Aunt visited, she made this recipe for us, and we loved it.  This time when she visited, she brought up a BUNCH of eggs from her chickens, and she cooked us a ham.  So, I had a bunch of ham to use up, and excess eggs.  I remembered her making this recipe, and while I didn't *have* the recipe, I remembered what she did well enough to go online and find one that, if not exact, was pretty close.  It tasted the same, anyways. ;)

I will give you the ingredients for one pie, but you can find the recipe here, and alter the amounts to make however many you'd like.  I made two--one to eat and one to freeze!


Ingredients:



6 ounces cooked ham , cut in 1/4 inch dice (11/4 cups)
¾ cup frozen broccoli cuts , thawed
2 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese
2 ounces cheddar cheese
8 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

NOTE:  I only had shredded mozzarella cheese, so I used that and it was good.

Directions:

1.  Heat oven to 375°F and grease a 9-inch pie plate.
2.  Scatter ham, broccoli and cheeses evenly in pie plate.

3.  Whisk remaining ingredients in a bowl until blended. Pour into pie plate.

4.  Bake 40 minutes or until firm. Cover top with foil if it starts to get too brown.

That's it!  Super easy, and very yummy!  =)
