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…

I really like quiches, especially if I have the dough already!
looks wonderful and sounds delicious..never had quiche for so long!
Cathleen, this is a wonderful quiche! My children and I won't mind to have this for lunch.
"You can never go wrong with Quiche" and yours looks delicious!!! I may just need to make some for dinner tonight. Thanks for sharing, Cathleen…
I adore quiche and try to make a new one at least once a month. This one is perfect.
This quiche is just bursting with stuff! Yum!
This quiche looks delicious. I love the ham and broccoli combination.
Cathleen, I love Quiche! My must have ingredient is bacon but I guess ham is just as good. My only problem is making the crust. But I will attempt it someday!
That's a jam packed quiche full of the best stuff. I love quiche and could eat it any day of the year.
Love this quiche and I love that I can throw some fresh broccoli from the garden in there too!
This would be a great meal to serve on Christmas morning! Thank you for sharing such a delicious quiche!
I really don't make quiche enough. This looks like such a great version of it!

I haven't been baking lately , cookies or cakes , that is 😀 Stir fries seems easier to make since you can't just serve cookies for dinner , right ?! lol Yup , I haven't tried making quiche yet 😛 I love the way you use your leftover ham , and paired with broccoli , it makes the dish not only delicious but nutritious , too !
