  • 1 Frozen or Fresh Pie Crust

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Rough chop the broccoli and half onion and mince or crush the garlic.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat, add in the olive oil, and then saute the broccoli and onions for about 5 to 10 minutes or until they start to soften.
  • Remove the broccoli and onions from heat and allow to cool slightly as you prepare the eggs.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, garlic, and pepper together.
  • Whisk in half of the cheese, stirring only to fully combine.
  • Add a layer of cheese to the pie crust and then add in the slightly cooked broccoli and onions.
  • Carefully pour the egg mixture on top, allowing it to fill in between the broccoli, leaving a bit of room at the top.
  • Place the quiche on a cookie sheet and bake for 55 to 60 minutes.
  • The broccoli quiche is done when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

*Don't over-fill the pie crust. Leave about a 1/4 inch of space from the top to allow for some rising. 
Feel free to top the quiche with extra cheddar or mozzarella cheese for a cheesy top.
