Ham and Broccoli Quiche

This is my Mom's recipe for quiche. I used leftover ham because I had some in the freezer, but when ham isn't available, I use bacon, which is just as good if not better! Another great option is vegetarian quiche. Using diced bell peppers and broccoli is a great combination. Besides making the pie crust, this recipe couldn't be simpler. It makes a good breakfast as well as dinner : )

Pie Crust: 

2 c Flour 
1 tsp salt 
2/3 c Butter/Shortening 
5-6 TB cold water

-Mix flour and salt.
-Cut in butter until a crumbly mixture forms.
-Add water 1 TB at a time until dough is moist enough to hold together.
-Roll out pie crust on a floured surface. Place in pie pan and crimp edges. 
-Bake at 350˚ for ~7 minutes.
-Remove from oven and set aside. 

Quiche:

2 TB Butter
1 Onion, Chopped
1/2 c Ham/Bacon, Cubed
1/2 c Broccoli, Diced
Salt and Garlic to Taste
4 Eggs
1/2 c Milk
1/2 c Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

-Melt butter in frying pan. Add onion and saute until translucent. 
-Add ham/bacon and vegetables. Stir in salt and garlic and cook another 5 minutes (it might take longer if you're using uncooked bacon).
-Spoon mixture into the bottom of the pie crust.
-Beat together eggs and milk. Pour over ham mixture into pie pan.
-Sprinkle a layer of cheddar cheese on top of the pie crust. 
-Cover the edges of the pie crust with a crust protector or foil.
-Bake at 350˚ for 30-45 minutes.
