Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch shell Frozen pie crust
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Half-and-half
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.5 cup Canned diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup, diced Onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If your pie crust is frozen, thaw it according to the package instructions.
Steam the broccoli florets for 5 minutes, or until tender, then roughly chop them into smaller pieces. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined.
Stir in the shredded Mexican blend cheese, diced green chilies, steamed broccoli, and sautéed onions into the egg mixture.
Pour the mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center of the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Southwestern Broccoli Quiche!
