Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust and Base
  • 1 piece pre-made pie crust Store-bought for convenience.
Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh broccoli florets Or frozen if that's what you have.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Feel free to try other cheeses.
  • 1 cup milk Whole milk for creaminess or skim if you prefer.
  • 4 large eggs

  • A pinch of nutmeg Secret ingredient for a bit of magic!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using fresh broccoli, steam the florets for about 3-4 minutes until tender and vibrant green. If using frozen, simply thaw them.
Mixing Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk until combined.
Assembling
  1. Place the pre-made pie crust in a pie dish. Layer the steamed broccoli and shredded cheddar in the base, then pour the egg mixture over the top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden.
  2. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Add extra veggies for customization. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for a crispy top. Don't worry about aesthetics; taste is key.
