Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade crust Pie crust
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 3 large Eggs
- 50 grams, grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 pinch Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Roll out the pie crust (if homemade) and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the base with a fork. Set aside.
Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Spread the sautéed onion and garlic evenly over the pie crust. Add the blanched broccoli florets on top, distributing evenly.
Pour the cream and egg mixture over the broccoli, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
