Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Prepared pie crust
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Low sodium cheddar cheese
- 4 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Low sodium milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Take the prepared pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still bright green. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, shred the low sodium cheddar cheese and set aside.
In the same bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until they are fully combined.
Add the low sodium milk to the eggs and whisk together, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg. Mix well.
Spread the sautéed broccoli evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded low sodium cheddar cheese on top of the broccoli evenly.
Pour the egg and milk mixture over the broccoli and cheese, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your low sodium broccoli quiche!
