Ingredients

• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie pan, trimming any excess. Poke holes at the bottom with a fork and set aside.

Step 3

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2 minutes. Drain and quickly immerse in ice water to retain their bright green color. Drain again and pat dry.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the blanched broccoli and sauté for 2 minutes to enhance their flavor. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 6

Spread the sautéed broccoli evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded provolone cheese over the broccoli.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and cheese, ensuring it fills evenly and doesn’t overflow.

Step 8

Place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is just set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold. Enjoy your homemade Broccoli and Provolone Quiche!
