Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, unbaked)
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1.5 cups Mushrooms (sliced)
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Low-fat milk
• 0.5 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.

Step 2

Steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, cooking for 5-6 minutes or until the mushrooms have softened and released their moisture. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the steamed broccoli and sautéed mushrooms evenly across the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top. You can check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
