Ham and Broccoli Quiche

I made this for dinner the other night. I substituted cream for the milk and brie cheese for the swiss cheese and it was still very good! Even the kids ate it. I recommend using a deep dish pie plate as it made a lot of filling.

Ingredients
1 unbaked deep-dish pastry shell (9 inches)
1 cup water
1/2 cup chopped fresh broccoli
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1-1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 cup diced fully cooked ham

Directions
Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring 1/4-in.water and broccoli to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately place broccoli in ice water. Drain and pat dry with paper towels
Toss cheeses with flour; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, onion and seasonings. Stir in the ham, broccoli and cheese mixture. Pour into prepared crust.
Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6-8 servings.
