Ingredients
  

  • 1 9- inch store-bought or homemade pie crust
  • 2 cups broccoli florets blanched and chopped
  • 1/4 cup white onion diced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • If using a store-bought pie crust, follow the instructions for pre-baking or partially bake the crust, as needed. If using a homemade crust, make sure it’s rolled out and placed in a pie dish. Prick the crust with a fork in several places to prevent it from puffing up during baking.
  • In a pot of boiling salted water, blanch the broccoli florets for about 2 minutes, then drain and chop them into smaller pieces. This helps to soften the broccoli slightly before adding it to the quiche.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté onions for about 3 minutes until they become translucent then remove from heat.
  • Sprinkle the chopped broccoli, diced onions, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pre-baked pie crust.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and paprika until well combined.
  • Gently pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and cheese in the pie crust.
  • Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden brown. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
  • Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. It can also be served at room temperature.
