Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g broccoli
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 4 large eggs
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 100 ml milk
- 150 g grated Gruyère cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the broccoli into small florets and steam them for about 5 minutes until they are tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Finely chop the onion and garlic, then add them to the pan. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until well combined.
Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well to distribute the cheese evenly.
Place the steamed broccoli and sautéed onions in the bottom of the pre-baked 9-inch pie crust, spreading them out evenly.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the broccoli and onions, ensuring it is evenly distributed across the pie crust.
Tap the pie crust gently to remove any bubbles, and ensure the mixture is evenly spread.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
