Ingredients

• 1 store-bought or homemade Pie crust
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 medium-sized Leeks
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a homemade pie crust, prepare it according to your recipe and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork and set aside.

Step 2

Chop the broccoli florets into small, bite-sized pieces. Clean and finely slice the leeks, using only the white and light green parts.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the broccoli to the pan, cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well blended.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the grated Gruyère cheese over the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Spread the broccoli and leek mixture evenly on top of the cheese.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and leeks, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Sprinkle the remaining Gruyère cheese on top.

Step 7

Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
