Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 unbaked homemade pie crust
  • 4 slices of good-quality bacon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 head of fresh broccoli, roughly chopped (about 3 cups)
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1¼ cups milk
  • ? cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy on both sides. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain and chop into small pieces.
  2. Add the olive oil to the same skillet and sauté the chopped broccoli, green onions, and garlic until the broccoli is just tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie dough into a 12-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges as desired.
  4. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights, prick the crust with a fork, and bake for another 8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.
  6. Sprinkle most of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese into the baked crust, reserving about ¼ cup of each for topping. Evenly add the sautéed broccoli mixture and chopped bacon over the cheese layer. Pour the egg mixture on top and finish with the reserved cheese.
  7. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 40–50 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is just set.
  8. Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use fresh broccoli for the best flavor. You can use a store-bought pie crust to save time.
