Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 3 pieces eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and trim any excess dough. Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the spinach and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the spinach is wilted and the broccoli is slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.
Spread the cooked spinach and broccoli mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
