Ingredients

• 1 piece pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 3 pieces eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and trim any excess dough. Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom to prevent bubbling. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the spinach and broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the spinach is wilted and the broccoli is slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the cooked spinach and broccoli mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

Carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it 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 the top is lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
