Ingredients
- 1 pre-made frozen pie crust
- 4 medium eggs, beaten
- 1 1/4 cup half and half
- 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped into smaller bite size pieces
- 4 ounces (1 cup) Swiss cheese, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- In a bowl whisk together: eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg then whisk in half and half.
- Layer the broccoli and cheese in the frozen pie crust (Do not defrost the pie crust).
- Pour egg mixture over the top (you may have a little extra if your eggs were large - scramble it later if it won't fit.).
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Place the quiche on top of the baking sheet in case it boils over and also so it's easier to put in and take out of the oven.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife in the center comes out clean and the top is turning a slight brown. If you're worried about the crust being too brown, then add a pie crust shield or place aluminum foil around the crust ~20 minutes in.
- Turn on the broiler for a minute or two if the top is not browned (watching carefully - you don't want it to burn).
- Let sit ~ 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, cold, or room temperature. Happy Eating! Beckie
Notes
TIP: Cover your pie crust with aluminum foil if it starts to get to dark on the edges but the middle is still not done. Or get fancy with an adjustable pie crust shield.
