Cook’s Notes

• You can use fresh or frozen broccoli for this recipe. If you use frozen broccoli (what I usually use), ensure it’s thawed and drained before adding it to the quiche.
  • If you use fresh broccoli, place it in a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Cook it for 3 minutes to soften the broccoli.
• This recipe can be served warm or at room temperature.
• Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for up to 24 hours or covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• I used Pillsbury 9-inch frozen deep pie crust for this recipe. (I didn’t make my crust, but frozen crusts taste amazing. Plus, it makes this recipe a little easier!)
• I highly recommend using a good-quality sharp white cheddar for this recipe, like Kerrygold.

How to store Broccoli and Cheese Quiche

Can you freeze Broccoli Cheddar Quiche?

Yes! Let the quiche cool to room temperature before wrapping it in 2 layers of plastic wrap and foil.

To reheat, remove the foil and plastic and bake at 350°F oven for about 25 minutes or until heated.

Equipment

Ingredients

• ▢ 9- inch frozen deep pie crust in aluminum tin
• ▢ 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• ▢ 1 medium yellow onion diced
• ▢ 2 cups broccoli florets chopped into bite-sized pieces (*fresh or frozen see note)
• ▢ 4 oz. sharp white cheddar cheese shredded
• ▢ 3 large eggs

Instructions

• Place oven rack in the middle position, place a cookie sheet on oven rack and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Take pie crust out of the freezer and let it stand for 10 minutes.

Bake quiche on top of cookie sheet 35-40 minute or until quiche is set and a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Move quiche to wire rack and let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

* You can use fresh or frozen broccoli for this recipe. If you use frozen broccoli (what I usually use), just make sure that it’s thawed and drained before you add it to the quiche.
