Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
- 1 cup Fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges and crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined.
Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sautéed broccoli, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper into the egg mixture.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
