Broccoli Cheddar Quiche Recipe
These tasty Individual Broccoli Cheddar Quiches are creamy and cheesy in a flaky crust! Loaded with onions, broccoli, cheese, eggs, and milk, they’re perfect as is—or add your favorite meats or veggies for a personal touch! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crust in a roll
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ⅓ cup diced yellow onion
- 1 cup frozen chopped broccoli florets
- ½ cup shredded cheddar (or your favorite flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup whole milk (or heavy cream)
- Optional - 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Optional - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional - 1 green onion, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the oven rack in middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Take the pie crust out of the fridge or freezer and let stand for 15 minutes.
- Cut the pie crust in half and place halves into two 18.6 ounce oven-safe baking 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.
- While the pie crust bakes, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent about 5 minutes.
- Add the onions, broccoli florets, and cheese to the bottom of the pre-baked pie crusts.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli mixture, divided evenly.
- Place the two oven-safe dishes into the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the quiche is set and the knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
