Creamy Baked Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450°F. Unroll the pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and crimp the edges. Line the crust with a double layer of heavy-duty foil and bake for 8 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 minutes more. Remove the partially baked crust from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, sauté the chopped broccoli and onion in butter over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, mayonnaise, flour, chicken broth, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir in the sautéed broccoli mixture and shredded cheddar cheese. Pour the filling into the partially baked pie crust.

4. 4

   Bake the quiche for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the quiche to rest for 10 minutes before slicing to ensure it is set.
