Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, minced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 ½ cups diced cooked ham
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
4 large eggs, beaten
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place broccoli into a glass bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Cook in the microwave in 1-minute intervals until evenly heated through, about 5 minutes; drain and set aside.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic in melted butter until onion is slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir ham and broccoli into onion mixture, then transfer to pie crust.
Beat together cheese, milk, eggs, and black pepper in a medium bowl; pour over ham mixture in crust. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 45 minutes.
Cook’s Note
You can substitute 2 cups of fresh broccoli for the frozen; cook it with the onions and garlic until soft.
I have used a mixture of Cheddar and provolone cheese with good results.
Mushrooms and red peppers might make this recipe even better, but my family is picky.
