How to Make My Broccoli Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pre-bake your pie crust in a deep-dish pie plate for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden.
  2. While the crust bakes, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add 2 cups chopped broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for another 3-5 minutes, until slightly tender-crisp.
  4. Once the pie crust is pre-baked, spread the vegetable mixture evenly in the crust.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables, followed by 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Pour the egg mixture gently over the vegetables and cheese in the pie crust. Do not overfill.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the center is no longer jiggly.
  9. Let the quiche cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. Leftovers can be easily reheated in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
