Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 large Eggs
- 1 cup Half-and-half
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 sheets Premade pie crust dough
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Roll out the premade pie crust dough on a floured surface. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out circles, then press each circle into a muffin tin cup to form the crust.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 1-2 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Drain and chop into small pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined.
Distribute the chopped broccoli evenly among the muffin cups, followed by an equal amount of shredded cheddar cheese in each.
Pour the egg mixture on top, filling each muffin cup about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are puffed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the mini quiches to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
