Ingredients
- 1 small (6-inch size) Pie crust
- 2 slices Bacon
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.33 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Roll out the small pie crust and fit it into a 6-inch tart or pie pan. Trim any excess around the edges and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent puffing.
Step 3
Blind bake the crust: Line it with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, remove the weights, and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Step 4
While the crust is baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet, let it drain on paper towels, and crumble it into small pieces.
Step 5
In the same skillet, lightly steam the broccoli florets by adding a splash of water, covering, and cooking for 2-3 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Drain and set aside.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Step 7
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the bottom of the baked pie crust, followed by the broccoli florets and shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 8
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
Step 9
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
