Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 6 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, and blanched broccoli. Mix gently to combine.
Pour the egg and broccoli mixture into the prepared pie dish, ensuring the broccoli is evenly distributed.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. To check if it’s done, insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Allow the quiche to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
