Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute the chopped onion and broccoli for three to five minutes, or until they are tender. Stir the chopped ham into the mix and saute the ingredients for another minute. Remove the broccoli, ham, and onion from the heat and set aside.
Time To Get Cheesy
Whisk the cream, egg, and mustard together in a medium-sized bowl. Throw in a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir in the 1/3 cup of cheese. Stir in the cooked ham. Use a spoon to pour around two tablespoons of the stirred filling to each well of the pan.

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. It’s important to make sure the quiche is completely cooked through, so slide a knife or fork inside one to test readiness. If the utensil comes out clean with little egg debris attached, these delicious bites are good to go! The crust being golden brown is another indicator that your tiny creations are ready to be eaten.
Serve with a side of fruit for brunch or along side a salad for a delicious dinner entreé. These mini quiches are the perfect combination of savory and satisfying, and you won’t want to waste a bite!
