Things You'll Need:
- 2 tbsp. butter
- Pie crust
- 1 small or medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups chopped fresh broccoli (thawed and drained if frozen)
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
-
Step 1
Melt about a tbsp. of butter in a skillet and slowly cook the broccoli, onions and garlic. It's important to cook slowly so as to not burn the butter or the garlic (doing so will create a bitter, almost rancid flavor).
-
Step 2
Place the vegetable mixture in the pie crust. Spread it out evenly over the crust, but not tightly, leaving space for the egg mixture.
-
Step 3
Mix the eggs and the milk in a large bowl, stirring vigorously to incorporate both. Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
Step 4
Add the cheese on top of the broccoli in the crust, and add some cheese to the egg mixture as well. This helps ensure the cheese is distributed evenly.
-
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli, filling in all of the empty space in the broccoli.
-
Step 6
Put one more layer of cheese on the top of the final mixture, to give it a nice crust. The cheese will brown in the oven.
-
Step 7
Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until the mixture is completely cooked. If you stick a knife in the center, it should come out clean when the quiche is done.
