Tips & Substitutions
For a different flavor, try adding sautéed onions or bell peppers to the broccoli layer. You can substitute the ham with cooked bacon or turkey for a lighter option. If you're out of Bisquick, a homemade mix of flour, baking powder, and salt can work just as well. For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half instead of milk, which is often found in recipes like Cheesy Broccoli Surprise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh broccoli instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh broccoli. You'll need about 4 cups of chopped fresh broccoli. Steam or blanch it briefly before layering it in the pan to ensure it cooks through during baking.
How do I know when the quiche is done?
The quiche is done when it is set in the center and has a golden top. You can insert a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, it's ready. The edges might be slightly puffed, which is normal.
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the quiche the night before and store it in the refrigerator before baking. Just cover it tightly with plastic wrap. When you're ready to bake, remove the wrap and follow the baking instructions. It may take a few extra minutes to cook if it's cold from the fridge.
