Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and lightly browned. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the broccoli is roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan or tart pan. Press it into the edges and trim off any excess dough. Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom of the crust. Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and set aside.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the bottom of the pie crust. Top with the roasted broccoli and chopped bacon pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the broccoli, bacon, and cheese, ensuring an even distribution.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is slightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
