How to make a Ham, Cheese & Broccoli Quiche!

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still melting well.

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: bacon

Turkey ham is leaner, while bacon adds a smoky flavor.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place the deep dish 9-inch pie crust in a pie dish.

Spread 1.5 cups of chopped leftover holiday ham evenly in the crust.

Layer 2 oz of mozzarella cheese and 4 oz of cheddar cheese over the ham.

Add the defrosted frozen broccoli to the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Add more ham and cheese on top as needed.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few cracks of black pepper, and a couple of shakes of Paul pom's vegetable magic.

Add whole milk and heavy cream to the egg mixture and whisk for about 30 seconds until well incorporated.

Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the pie crust, allowing it to soak in.

Press down on the mixture to compact it slightly before baking.

Bake in the oven for about 55 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 20-25 minutes before slicing.
