A delicious and easy broccoli and cheese quiche with a buttery crust, fluffy egg filling, tender broccoli, and melty cheese. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork.
  2. Pre-bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside.
  3. Steam or blanch the broccoli for 2–3 minutes until just tender. Drain well.
  4. Sprinkle broccoli and shredded cheese evenly into the pre-baked crust.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and cheese.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the center is set and a knife comes out clean.
  8. Let quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use half-and-half for a richer texture.
  • Try adding cooked bacon, ham, or sautéed onions for extra flavor.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
