Ingredients

Before we dive into the magical quiche-making process, here’s what you’ll need for this Bewitching Broccoli Quiche:

1 pre-made pie crust (because let’s be honest, who has time to make one?)
1 cup fresh broccoli florets (or frozen if that’s what you’ve got)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (feel free to try other cheeses too!)
1 cup milk (whole milk for creaminess or skim if you’re feeling fancy)
4 large eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
A pinch of nutmeg (This is the secret ingredient for a bit of magic!)

Steps to Create Your Own Bewitching Broccoli Quiche

Preheat the oven: Set it to 375°F (190°C). Let’s get that oven nice and toasty!
Prep the broccoli: If you’re using fresh broccoli, steam those florets for about 3-4 minutes until they’re tender but still vibrant green. If you’re using frozen, just thaw them out.
Mix the filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and that pinch of nutmeg. This is where the magic happens! Whisk it until it’s all combined—don’t shy away from the elbow grease!
Assemble your quiche: Place your pre-made pie crust in a pie dish. Layer the steamed broccoli and shredded cheddar at the bottom, then pour that egg mixture over the top. Make sure it fills in all the nooks and crannies!
Bake: Slide that quiche into the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden. The aroma will have your family racing to the kitchen!
Cooldown: Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Trust me, the waiting makes it even more delicious!

Cooking Tips

If you have extra veggies lying around (carrots, bell peppers, or even mushrooms), toss them in! This recipe is super forgiving and loves a little experimentation!
For a crispy top, broil your quiche for the last 2-3 minutes. Just keep an eye on it—nobody wants a burnt quiche!
Don’t worry if your first slice doesn’t look perfect; the taste is what truly matters. Remember, it’s all part of the magic!
