Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 units Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Cut 0.5 cups of unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or fork, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add 3 tablespoons of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together without being wet or sticky.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups of broccoli florets and sauté until they are bright green and just tender, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream, 0.5 cup of milk, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.125 teaspoon of nutmeg until well combined.

Step 8

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the edges as necessary.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust.

Step 10

Layer the sautéed broccoli over the cheese.

Step 11

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the broccoli and cheese, ensuring even distribution.

Step 12

Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown on top.

Step 13

Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
