Ingredients
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
- 1 teaspoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth.
Step 4
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, leaving about 1/4 cup aside for topping.
Step 5
Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter and line it with the unbaked pie crust. Press the crust into the edges and trim any excess dough.
Step 6
Layer the blanched broccoli evenly across the bottom of the pie crust.
Step 7
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the broccoli, ensuring everything is well-distributed.
Step 8
Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Step 9
Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Step 10
Let the pie cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
