Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 cups small chopped broccoli florets
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your quiche will bake evenly and come out perfectly set.
- In a pot of boiling water, blanch the chopped broccoli florets for about 2 minutes until they are bright green. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs and 1 cup of milk until fully combined.
- Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper into the egg mixture.
- Add the blanched broccoli and 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Gently fold everything together.
- Pour the broccoli and cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
