Cheddar, Ham and Broccoli Quiches

Ingredients

  • Single pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped cooked ham
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup half and half
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Crusts: Use the large circle of the crust cutting tool to cut 8 crusts. Place crusts evenly on top of wells and gently press into wells with the pie forming tool. If desired, crimp the top edge.

Filling: In a small skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Saute broccoli and onion for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in ham and saute for 1 minute or until heated through. Remove from heat. (If using frozen broccoli, thaw and add with the ham.)

In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, cream and mustard. Stir in cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in ham mixture. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling into each crust.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center of a quiche comes out clean and crusts are golden brown.
