Easy Broccoli Quiche (5 Ingredients)

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

2 cups broccoli florets (about ½ pound)

5 large eggs

¾ cup milk (whole milk recommended)

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 9-inch pie crust (whole wheat or regular (see note)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375° F.

If not using a prepared pie crust, roll out pie dough and fit it into your pie dish. Trim edges; flute as desired. Chill until ready to use.

Place 1-2 cups water in the bottom of a small pot. Add the broccoli, cover, and bring to a boil. Cook the broccoli until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a colander, rinse with cool water, and drain. Chop broccoli into small pieces.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped broccoli and cheddar cheese. Pour into the prepared pie shell.

Bake quiche for 35-50 minutes, until eggs are set in the center. Check on quiche starting at 25 minutes and tent with foil if crust is browning too quickly.

Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
