Ingredients

Notes
Variations:
- Swap the ham for bacon, sausage or vegan sausage.
- Cheese: Any cheese would work great here. Try this with mozzarella cheese, Gruyere, cheddar or Swiss.
- Milk: You can swap more milk in place of the half & half cream, but the texture won’t be as creamy, it will have a spongier texture.
- Individual Ramekins: Make them in individual ramekins in place of one large pie dish.
- Crust: If you wish to use a crust, follow the directions for this recipe using a deeper pie dish, and use less broccoli.
