Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 pieces eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges, and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Step 3
Bake the crust for 10 minutes to partially blind-bake it, then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3-5 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Step 6
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the partially baked crust.
Step 7
Add the sautéed broccoli to the crust, spreading it out in an even layer.
Step 8
Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Step 9
Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 10
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set, and the top is golden brown.
Step 11
Let the quiche cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
