This delicious quiche is loaded with broccoli and cheese. It is super easy to make and is sure to be a hit with the whole family!
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup vintage white cheddar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp butter
- salt, pepper, and garlic powder (to taste)
NOTE: I used a regular pie crust for this recipe and it overflowed. It requires a deep-dish crust.
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put frozen crust into the oven and bake until light golden brown. Approximately 8-10 minutes. If crust puffs up, prick it with a knife and continue baking.

- Bring water to boil in a sauce pan. Boil broccoli for 3-5 minutes or until tender but crispy. Remove broccoli from water and drain on a paper towel.
