Ham and Broccoli Quiche

I found this recipe years ago on a box of Pillsbury® Refrigerated Pie crusts. It’s so easy to make and you can change the ingredients to your liking. I often make quiche with leftover vegetables and chicken or ham.

Ham and Broccoli Quiche

1 refrigerated pie crust
1 ½ cups cubed cooked ham
1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup frozen broccoli florets, thawed and drained
4 eggs
1 cup milk
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. dry mustard
½ tsp. pepper

Pre-heat oven to 375F.  Place softened pie crust in 9 inch glass pie pan, trim and flute edges.

Layer ham, cheese and broccoli in crust-lined pan. In a medium bowl, combine all remaining ingredients; beat well and pour over broccoli.

Bake at 375F for 35 to 45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.  6 servings.
