Ingredients

• For the crust:
• - 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• - ½ teaspoon salt
• - ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• - 3-4 tablespoons ice water
• For the filling:
• - 1 cup cooked ham, diced
• - 1 cup broccoli florets, blanched and chopped
• - 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• - 4 large eggs
• - 1 cup milk
• - ½ teaspoon salt
• - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• - ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
• - ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
• - ¼ teaspoon dried basil
• - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt for the crust. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
4. Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle slightly larger than your quiche dish.
6. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the dish and press it lightly into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.
7. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, thyme, oregano, basil, and garlic powder for the filling.
8. Spread the diced ham, chopped broccoli, and shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the prepared crust.
9. Pour the egg mixture over the filling ingredients.
10. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
11. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
12. Enjoy the flavorful and comforting ham and broccoli quiche with Swiss cheese!
