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.
