Equipment
Ingredients
Pastry
- 500 g Plain White Flour

Quiche Filling
- 8 Eggs
- 200 ml Milk

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180° c Fan/200°c/ 392°F.
- For the pastry, add butter to the flour and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the pepper and stock powder and slowly add in the water until it forms a dough. I prefer to use my electric mixer as there's less mess.
- Roll out to about 5mm thick and place in greased quiche dish. Mine is a large dish so if you have small dishes it will make 2 but you may need extra filling ingredients.
- Prick the pastry all over with a fork and blind bake for 10 – 15 mins in the oven until dry and slightly golden.
- Chop the heads off the broccoli into small pieces and chop the ham into small squares. Set aside.
- Mix the eggs with the milk in a bowl and add to the pastry case.
- Add the seasoning and broccoli, and ham and spread out evenly.
- Top with the grated cheese, paprika and mixed herbs.
- Bake in the oven for about 35 – 40 mins, depending on the size of your dish. Serve your lovely broccoli quiche hot or cold.
