Ingredients
  

  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 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)
  • to taste salt and black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimp edges, and prick the bottom with a fork.
  • Blind bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until set but not browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 2–3 minutes until just tender. Drain well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Sprinkle the steamed broccoli evenly over the pre-baked crust, followed by the shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheese.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or half-and-half, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and cheese in the crust.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean.
  • Let the quiche cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
