Ingredients
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 150 grams Sharp cheddar cheese
- 5 Large eggs
- 240 milliliters Whole milk
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (optional, for slight thickening)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (for greasing the dish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with the unsalted butter and set it aside.
Step 3
Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil, and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set them aside.
Step 4
Shred the sharp cheddar cheese and set it aside.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, and optional all-purpose flour until well combined. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and mix again.
Step 6
Arrange the blanched broccoli florets evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the broccoli, making sure it covers the dish evenly.
Step 8
Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and cheese, ensuring that it spreads evenly and fills all gaps.
Step 9
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
Step 10
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Step 11
Serve warm, or allow it to cool completely and refrigerate for serving later. Enjoy!
