I first tasted quiche at a French bakery and fell instantly in love.

It’s probably one of my favorite things to eat; I never miss out an opportunity to have quiche at restaurants that serve them.

There is just something about the buttery and crumbly crust filled with savory egg custard, flavored with bacon, ham, spinach, etc.

I love quiche.

This homemade cheesy ham and broccoli quiche recipe makes the BEST quiche that I have ever tasted, and I am not even bluffing.

I have eaten plenty of great quiches, but this recipe is off-the-charts delicious.

Thanks to my amazing baking assistant Kendoll who combines the best crust recipe with the best filling recipe, and we have a knock-out recipe.

The secret ingredient in the recipe is the ham, a good quality ham.

It makes all the difference.

We got a very good ham and it imparts the smokey and savory flavors to the egg custard.

Add some fresh broccoli florets to the equation and you have a filling dish that is great for brunch, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients  

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick butter, chilled unsalted butter, cubed, 8 tablespoons
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup ice water

For the Filling:

  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup cubed ham
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions 

For the Crust

  • Whisk the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add the chilled cubes of butter, and use your fingertips to break the butter into the flour until the largest pieces are the size of peas. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, and ice water, then pour the mixture into the bowl with the flour.
  • Stir gently to combine, adding a few teaspoons of flour if the dough is sticky. Then gather the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C). Remove the dough from the fridge, discard the plastic, and roll it out on a floured surface until you have a sheet about 1/8 inch thick. Place the crust in a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate.

For the Filling

  • Sauté the diced onion with a little oil over low heat. Set aside. Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 10 seconds. Drain and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the milk, eggs, salt, and pepper; set aside. Layer the ham, broccoli, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, and sautéed onion in the crust-lined pie plate. Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients.
  • Bake the quiche for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it stand for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges. Serve warm.

    Hi, is there any other ingredient that I could replace the Greek yogurt with?

  3. Susan Tan says:

    Hi, thx for sharing the recipe.

    However, is it possible to give measurement of ingredients in grams? Like 1 stick of butter (8 tablespoons) is how many gram?

    Thanks once again :)
