Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Press it gently into place and trim any excess edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped broccoli florets and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until slightly softened. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and onion powder until smooth.
Layer the diced chicken, sautéed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese into the pie crust, spreading them out evenly.
Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the pie crust, ensuring it covers them evenly.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any overflow, then bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
