Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust dough and carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges if needed. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring until wilted. Lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese into the egg mixture.

Step 8

Add the cooked broccoli and spinach mixture to the bowl, stirring to evenly combine all ingredients.

Step 9

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10

Place the pie dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
