Equipment
- Small skillet
- Foil paper
- large measuring cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder contributing a savory and aromatic element to the dish.
- 3 cups of creamy whole milk creating a velvety and smooth base for the quiche.
- An 18-inch deep dish pie crust providing a buttery and flaky foundation for the pie filling.
- 1 teaspoon of salt enhancing the overall taste of the dish and bringing out the natural flavors of the ingredients.
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper adding a subtle hint of warmth and spice to complement the other flavors.
- 4 cups of vibrant and freshly harvested broccoli florets adding a burst of color and a nutritious crunch to the dish.
- 10 large eggs ensuring a rich and custard-like texture to bind the filling together.
- 2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese melting into a gooey and indulgent sauce that envelops the other ingredients.
- 2 tablespoons of creamy butter melting into the dish and imparting a rich and savory flavor.
Instructions
- You need to saute the broccoli. Put it in a small skillet over medium heat and stir frequently. Let it cook for about 5 minutes or until the broccoli is softened but still slightly crunchy.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and place a baking sheet on the bottom rack of your oven to catch any drips during baking. Then, in a large bowl, mix together the softened butter, salt, pepper, and onion powder.
- Add to the butter mixture and stir until evenly coated. Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and spread the broccoli mixture around the bottom of the crust.
- Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the broccoli and spread evenly. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until fully combined.
- Pour egg mixture into pie pan on top of broccoli and cheese. Bake in preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is golden brown. Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- When chopping the broccoli, make sure to cut it into small florets as this will allow them to cook evenly throughout the quiche.
- If you want a richer flavor, consider adding some cream cheese or feta cheese to the quiche.
- Whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined for a creamy custard base.
- Make sure not to over-bake the quiche as it may become dry.
