This is a recipe that I have adapted for many different occasions. One of the favorites is ham and potato with cheese. I am sure you can do it in a regular pie dish, but this is what I always use for pretty presentation.
I bought my pie pans from Pampered Chef and the special knife that goes with it. I never have issues with scratches, nor do I have issues with getting it out of the dish.
I think it needs repeating, I rarely use salt and this recipe definitely does not need it. There is salt in the ham and cheese. I also attempt to cook slightly healthier without going crazy and sacrificing on taste, because that is what is important.
What you will need:
tart pan or pie dish
whisk
wooden spoon
medium mixing bowl
1 tbls veg oil
1 1/2 teasp onion powder
black pepper
1 c whole milk (i used lactaid)
5 large eggs
frying pan
1 ready and roll pie crust
1 ham steak 6-8 oz, cubed (or leftover ham works great, even honey ham)
1 cup chopped broccoli, pieces should be the same size of the ham
1/2 c or more of cheddar cheese shredded (Cabot makes a 50% less fat kind which works great)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Chop broccoli. In a frying pan on medium heat, with oil, saute broccoli. Chop up ham into cubes. Add ham to the pan once broccoli starts to soften. Season with some black pepper and onion powder. Do not over-cook.

Roll pie crust into pan, don't worry that it doesn't cover the entire tart pan, be sure to keep the edges below the top of the pan. Prick the dough.
Place pan into the oven for 10 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl crack 5 eggs, add milk, some black pepper and whisk together.
Shred cheese.
Once the crust is done with the blind bake, remove and place all of the filling (ham and broccoli) evenly inside. Then top with shredded cheese. Pour egg mixture over top.
Bake for 20-30 minutes until egg is fully cooked and doesn't jiggle.
This dinner should be between 4 and 5 bucks.
**Want it a little healthier, you can remove yolks and add extra whites. ;) **
