Ingredients

• 3 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
• 1 teaspoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, leaving about 1/4 cup aside for topping.

Step 5

Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter and line it with the unbaked pie crust. Press the crust into the edges and trim any excess dough.

Step 6

Layer the blanched broccoli evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 7

Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the broccoli, ensuring everything is well-distributed.

Step 8

Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 9

Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
