Broccoli and Ham Quiche

Does anyone still have leftovers from Thanksgiving? Anyone?

Well, since I freeze my leftovers, I still had some leftovers of the ham variety. Don’t get me wrong, I could eat everyday all day and probably still not get bored of it, but I felt like the desserts on this blog were overpowering the savory food by, well, a lot, and I wanted to bring some balance when it comes to the food I make.

And it was a good call, because it resulted in this delicious quiche!

I can’t ever get sick of quiche. I have made a broccoli and cheddar quiche before, but I wanted to revamp it with some of my leftover ham. The result was delicious. More than I could hope for. This was gone within a day.

Now that I think about it, this would be a great dish to serve for Christmas, or even after Christmas if you are like me and will have some (make that a lot of) ham leftovers. You can never go wrong with quiche. Just saying…
