Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, leaving about 1/4 cup aside for topping.
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.
Layer the blanched broccoli evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the broccoli, ensuring everything is well-distributed.
Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheddar cheese on top.
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.
Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
