INGREDIENTS:
CRUST:
- 1 ¼ + 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons of lemon juice
- 1 stick of chilled unsalted butter
- ¼ cup of iced water
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ cup of Greek Yogurt
FILLING:
- 4 pieces of large eggs
- 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup of broccoli florets
- 1 cup of cubed ham
- ¼ cup of diced onion
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper
- ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup of milk
INSTRUCTIONS:
- The Crust: Combine and whisk the flour and salt in a large basin.
- Use your fingertips to break up the butter cubes in the flour until the largest bits are the size of peas. Add the cold butter cubes.
- Mix the yoghurt, lemon juice, and ice water in a separate bowl before adding it to the flour.
- Fold the dough to make a ball, wrap it in plastic, and put it in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight. Add an additional teaspoon of flour if the dough is still sticky.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- After removing the plastic from the dough, roll it out on a floured surface until you have a 1/8-inch-thick sheet of dough. Put the crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
- Filling: Sauté the diced onion in a small amount of oil over low heat until translucent. Ten seconds in hot water will do for blanching broccoli florets. Drain the water and set it away for later use.
- Set aside a medium bowl and whisk together the milk, eggs, and seasonings.
- Arrange the ham, broccoli, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, and the sauteed onion on the crust-lined dish. Pour in the egg mixture.
- It’s done when a knife placed in the center comes out clean. Cut into wedges after 5 minutes of resting. Serve hot.
