Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • 9-inch pie plate.
  • Medium pot.
  • Measuring Cups
  • Sharp knife
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 1 PIE CRUST
  • 2 cups BROCCOLI
  • 4 EGGS
  • 1.5 cups HEAVY CREAM
  • 1 cup GRUYÈRE CHEESE
  • 0.5 tsp SALT
  • 0.25 tsp BLACK PEPPER
  • 1 pinch NUTMEG

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees now. Roll out your pie dough on a flat surface. Place it into your clean 9-inch pie plate.
  • Press the dough against the sides of the dish. Trim any extra dough from the top edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper inside the crust. Fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the crust for about ten minutes until set.
  • Chop your broccoli into very small, bite-sized pieces. Steam them in a pot for three minutes. Drain the water and let the broccoli cool down.
  • Crack your eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream and the dry spices. Whisk everything together until the yellow color is even.
  • Spread the cooked broccoli over the warm pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese over the green broccoli. Pour the egg mixture over the top very slowly.
  • Put the quiche back into the hot oven. Bake it for about thirty-five to forty minutes. The center should be set but slightly jiggly.
  • Take the quiche out of the oven carefully. Let it cool for at least ten minutes. Slice it into wedges and serve it warm.

Notes

  • Use cold butter when you make your pie dough.
  • Do not overcook the broccoli in the steaming pot.
  • Use full-fat cream for the best and richest taste.
  • Grate your own cheese for a better melting result.
  • Let the quiche rest so the slices stay firm.
