Ingredients

• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 6 large eggs
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, and blanched broccoli. Mix gently to combine.

Step 6

Pour the egg and broccoli mixture into the prepared pie dish, ensuring the broccoli is evenly distributed.

Step 7

Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. To check if it’s done, insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 8

Allow the quiche to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
