Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams broccoli florets
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 medium onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook until bright green and slightly tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Stir in the sautéed onions and garlic, blanched broccoli, cheddar cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
Grease a standard 9-inch pie dish and pour the quiche mixture into it, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
