Ham Cheese and Broccoli Casserole Tart
This ham cheese and broccoli casserole tart is a perfect and quick brunch recipe. This recipe has all the amazing flavors of a broccoli ham and cheese casserole baked onto a buttery and flaky puff pastry. I love puff pastry brunch recipes. They are always so quick, easy and the possibilities are endless. This savory ham with the broccoli and cheddar makes for a perfect bite. I feel like this tart has become one of my favorite breakfast ideas. Read a long to see how I made this broccoli puffy pastry in no time.
Why This Broccoli Puff Pastry Recipe Is Great
YOu can make it ahead
I mixed the broccoli, ham and cheese filling together and stored it in my fridge overnight in an airtight container. The next morning, I spread it on my pastries, and it was ready in around 20 minutes.
The variations are endless
The variations to this recipe are endless. You don’t have to use broccoli or ham. You could use asparagus, spinach, turkey, sausage, you name it! The concept and baking are still the same.
Make this pastry into smaller squares
You could also make these into broccoli ham and cheese puff pastry squares. You would repeat the same recipe below, except first dividing your sheets into smaller squares in the beginning.
Equipment You’ll Need
The star piece of equipment that you’ll need for this puff pastry brunch meal is a non-stick baking pan. I have linked a couple below. I am partial when it comes to baking pans. I love a nice quality pan, strictly for clean-up reasons. They are soooo much easier to clean.
You’ll also need a knife, cutting board and some mixing bowls. I love these Rada knives. Some of you may recognize them as the “fundraiser” knives. I have so many knives, and these are by far my favorite, even compared to some of my pricier knives. Seriously, they are the best.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Like I mentioned earlier, anything goes with this recipe. However, I love the broccoli, ham and cheese. I used a steamable bagged broccoli. I microwaved it and chopped it all up. It turned our perfect and so much easier than buying fresh and cooking it.
I also just used a deli ham. Again, anything works for this. I do think, however, I did specifically use honey ham for this recipe. I also used a cheddar blend of cheese. It’s just personally what I had at home.
- 2 Puff Pastry Sheets
- 2 tbsp Melted Butter
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese (I used a cheddar blend)
- 1 cup Cooked Broccoli, Chopped (I used a steamable bag)
- 1/2 cup Deli Ham, Diced
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Sugar (Or sugar substitute)
- Sesame Seeds (Optional)
Step by Step How to Make This Ham Cheese and Broccoli Casserole Puff Pastry Tart
Step One
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Unthaw and stretch out one puff pastry sheet onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Take the other sheet and cut it into strips. Lay and tuck each strip on the perimeter edges of the first one. It will look like a frame around the edges and will serve as your crust. Poke holes with a fork all throughout the bottom later pastry.
Step Two
Mix shredded cheese, broccoli, ham, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, garlic powder and sugar into a bowl. Stir until it is thoroughly mixed. Spread it evenly inside the “frame” section of the pastry.
Step Three
Melt butter and brush it all over the crust edges of the pastry. Add sesame seeds if you choose. Bake for around 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the inner filling is bubbly. Remove from oven and cut into squares. Enjoy!
