Broccoli And Cheddar Quiche
- 1 9-inch (Unbaked) Pie Shell, Chilled, Store Bought Or Homemade
- 1-1/2 cup Broccoli Florets, Cut Into Small Pieces
- 2 cloves (Large Size) Garlic, Minced
- 6 Large Eggs
- 1-1/2 cup Half-and-half Or Cream
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoons Cayenne
- Salt And Fresh Cracked Black Pepper, To Taste
- 2 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
- Grated Fresh Parmesan, For Topping
- Preheat oven to 350 F. If it's not already done, roll out pie crust to 1/8 inch thick, fit it into 9-inch pie dish and crimp edges if desired. Pre-bake the pie crust for 8 minutes.
- While the pie crust is in the oven, cook broccoli in a large pot of boiling water for 4 minutes. Drain broccoli and rinse under cold water to stop it from cooking further. Pat the broccoli dry with a paper towel.
- Whisk together the garlic, eggs, cream, nutmeg, cayenne, salt and pepper in a large bowl until combined.
- When it's done, remove the pie shell from the oven. Turn oven up to 375 F. Pour filling into pie shell and add broccoli. Sprinkle the grated cheddar over top.
- Place pie dish on a rimmed baking sheet and put it into the oven. Bake on the centre shelf of the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top and crust are golden. Remove from oven.
- Allow to cool slightly and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
