INGREDIENTS

  • Base

    • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • Vegetables

    • 1 cup broccoli
    • 🧅 1/3 cup onion
  • Protein

    • 1 cup chopped ham
    • 🥚 4 large eggs
  • Dairy

    • 1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 🥛 1 cup whole milk
  • Spices/Other

    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

STEPS

1

Thaw puff pastry in the refrigerator until cold to the touch but easy to manipulate, about 4 hours, or according to package directions.

2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly flour a work surface. Place thawed puff pastry on the floured surface and unfold gently. Roll out pastry to a 13-inch square. Trim corners to form a 13-inch circle and place in a 9-inch quiche pan.

3

Fill pastry with pie weights or dried beans, and prick the sides with a fork. Place the pie pan on a baking sheet.

4

Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. If pastry puffs, gently press with a fork and continue baking.

5

Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Remove pie weights or dried beans.

6

Toss chopped broccoli, chopped ham, shredded cheese, and minced onion together in a bowl, then pour into prepared crust.

7

In the same bowl, beat eggs, heavy cream, milk, and cayenne until uniform in color and texture. Slowly pour into crust and stir gently to distribute.

8

Bake on the baking sheet in preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes. If liquid remains, bake another 3-5 minutes.

9

Cool quiche on a rack for 10-15 minutes. Garnish with parsley or scallions and serve warm or at room temperature.
