Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 1.5 cups Broccoli florets, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough holds together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough chills, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped broccoli florets and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.

Step 6

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Stir in the cheddar cheese, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Step 7

Spread the sautéed broccoli evenly over the crust in the pie dish. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the broccoli, making sure it is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
