Ingredients

• pie dough for a single crust pie, store-bought or homemade
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 T. olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 ½ c. small broccoli florets, cooked
• 1 ½ c. ham, chopped
• 1 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 ½ c. half and half
• 3 large eggs
• pinch ground nutmeg

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Roll dough into a 12 inch circle, about 1/16 inch thick. Line a 9 inch deep-dish pie plate with the dough, folding the overhanging dough under to make a thick border. Crimp edges.
3. Line dough with a sheet of parchment paper, fill with dried beans or pie weights; bake until edges begin to brown. Lift sheet of parchment paper to look at bottom. If dough is wet looking, lay parchment back down; bake another 5-6 minutes, checking dough again. When bottom of dough looks somewhat dry, remove parchment and weights; continue baking until a light golden brown all over. (If edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil and return to oven.) Remove crust; let sit until ready to bake quiche.
