These Individual Broccoli Cheese Quiches are smooth, cheesy, and creamy on the inside with a perfectly flaky crust. They are filled with onions, broccoli, cheese, eggs, and milk. This version is vegetarian but you could easily add in meats and other veggies if you wish.

Equipment used for this recipe
How to make Broccoli and Cheese Quiche
Step 1 - Place the oven rack in the middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F.
Step 2 - Take pie crust out of the fridge or freezer and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Step 3 - Cut the pie crust in half and place the halves into two 18.6-ounce dishes. It doesn’t have to be pretty! Poke each crust several times with a fork. Bake for 10 minutes or until light golden brown.
Step 4 - While the pie crust bakes, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent about 5 minutes.
Step 5 - Add onions, broccoli florets, and cheese to the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.
Step 6 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined.
Step 7 - Pour the egg filling over the broccoli mixture.
Step 8 - Place the two little quiches into the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the quiche is set and the knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Pro Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.

I made this for my son and I. We both loved it! The only issue I had was I didn't have the right kind of dish to cook them in. So I tried to rig something up in a 9x9 square pan with a tin foil divider and balls of tin foil to fill in spaces and try to prop up the crust. It sort of worked. Some of the egg leaked out, but not enough to compromise the quiche. I will definitely make this agin. (Hopefully with the right dish next time!)
