Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges, and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes to partially blind-bake it, then set aside to cool slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3-5 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the partially baked crust.
Add the sautéed broccoli to the crust, spreading it out in an even layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set, and the top is golden brown.
Let the quiche cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
