Broccoli Cheddar Quiche
Broccoli Cheddar Quiche is an easy breakfast or brunch recipe with a flaky crust, tender broccoli, and plenty of cheddar in every slice.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 8 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- ½ cup onion, diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Place the pie crust in a pie dish and crimp the edges if needed.
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and diced onion, then sauté for 4-5 minutes, until the onion is softened and the broccoli is slightly tender.
- Add the sautéed broccoli and onion to the prepared pie crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the broccoli and onion.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, garlic powder, and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the broccoli, onion, and cheese.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Nutrition
Notes
- Sauté the broccoli and onion first: This helps soften the vegetables before baking and keeps the quiche from having a raw onion flavor.
- Cut the broccoli small: Smaller florets bake more evenly and make the quiche easier to slice.
- Layer the filling in the crust: Add the sautéed broccoli and onion first, then sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top before pouring in the egg mixture.
- Do not over bake: The quiche is done when the center is set and no longer jiggles. Over baking can make the egg filling rubbery.
- Let it rest before slicing: Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes so the filling has time to set and slices cleanly.
