Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust dough and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges if needed. Set aside.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring until wilted. Lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese into the egg mixture.
Add the cooked broccoli and spinach mixture to the bowl, stirring to evenly combine all ingredients.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
