You can substitute Swiss cheese for the Gruyere if desired.
Serves 4-6
9-inch refrigerated pie crust
2 cups broccoli florets (about 1 crown)
1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
1/2 cup diced smoked ham
1 cup low-fat milk (1%)
1/4 cup half and half
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Press pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.
Blanch broccoli in a small pot of boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and arrange broccoli in the bottom of pie crust. Top with cheese and ham.
Whisk together milk, half and half, eggs, parsley, mustard, salt and pepper. Pour mixture over broccoli, cheese and ham.
Bake 30-40 minutes, until crust is golden brown and filling is set. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing into wedges.
