- 100 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Steam the broccoli florets for about 4-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped onion until it's translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Step 5
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked onions, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg into the egg mixture.
Step 6
Grease a 9-inch pie dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Spread the steamed broccoli in an even layer at the bottom of the pie dish.
Step 8
Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the quiche is set in the center and golden brown on top.
Step 10
Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
