Easy Breezy Quiche

I love a good quiche. If done right, it's simple and light and always satisfying. Make sure to cook until the egg is done and not soupy. Add a green salad and you have a great meal everyone will love!
      
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Freshly grated nutmeg
  • Pinch cayenne or paprika
  • 2 to 3 cups broccoli
  • 4 ozs grated swiss cheese
  • 2 tblsps chopped basil
  • 3/4 diced ham

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk the half-and-half, eggs and yolks in large glass measuring cup. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, cayenne or parika to taste. Spread half the broccoli and ham evenly in the pan, top with about half the cheese; repeat with remaining filling and cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings. Top with more herbs or cheese as desired. Bake until the quiche is just set in the center, about 40 to 50 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before serving.
