Broccoli Ham Quiche

1 Pie Crust or hash brown crust (see note)

1 1/2 cups ham, diced (6 oz)

2 Tablespoons butter

1 onion, minced

1 head broccoli, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 1/2 cups Swiss Cheese (6 oz)

4 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup milk

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Preheat oven to 375.

Place pie crust in pie pan and flute edges. You may have to roll out the crust with a rolling pin to get it larger.

Place ham in bottom of pie crust.

Saute in butter the onions, broccoli, and garlic till soft.

Layer broccoli mixture on top of ham.

Sprinkle with swiss cheese.

In a bowl mix eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and dry mustard.

Pour over quiche.

Bake in oven for 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

NOTE: 
- To make Hash Brown Crust:
          Thaw 1/2 a bag of frozen hash browns on 3 tear away towels on a jelly roll pan.  This will take about 20 minutes.  Then take another 3 sheets of towels and try to soak up the moisture by pressing down on the thawed hash browns.  
          In a medium bowl mix the hash browns with 2 Tablespoons of melted Butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
          Press into a greased pie plate on the bottom and up sides of plate. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.  
          Continue with rest of recipe by placing ham on top of baked hash browns. 

-To make 2 quiches:

Make each quiche separately (so twice the amount of ingredients).  However you will only need to buy 1 bag of diced ham and one 8oz block of Swiss cheese which you will divide into both quiches.  (When I price this recipe per serving I do it with the intent of making 2 quiches.)

Substitutes:
-If you do not have Swiss cheese you can use cheddar or mexican blend. Just do not use the dry mustard but use 1 t Paprika.

- If you do not have heavy cream you can use sour cream.
