Easy Broccoli Quiche Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped into small pieces
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite cheese)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (or half-and-half for a richer quiche)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges. You can pre-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes to prevent it from getting soggy, but it’s optional.
3. Cook the Vegetables: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped broccoli florets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Assemble the Quiche: Spread the cooked onions and broccoli evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the vegetables.
5. Prepare the Custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
6. Pour the Custard: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese in the pie crust. Use a fork to gently distribute the ingredients if needed.
7. Bake the Quiche: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; if it comes out clean, the quiche is done.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
