How to Make Broccoli Quiche

Making the best broccoli quiche recipe ever is easy! Prep the filling and crust, whisk, pour into crust, and bake.

The Ingredients

Pie Crust. The star of quiche is a flaky crust. Try Whole Wheat Pie Crust (my personal fave, made with whole wheat flour; this post has great pie crust making tips.) For no butter or rolling, make Oil Pie Crust.

Broccoli. Quiche makes it possible to enjoy broccoli at breakfast, or any meal.

Green Onions. The subtle taste of onion complements the eggs and cheese. It’s cooked along with the broccoli to soften the onions and bring out the flavor.Eggs. The key ingredient! I use five eggs for one quiche.Milk. I used 1% to lighten it up, but you are welcome to use a combo of whole milk and cream for more richness.Cheese. The best cheese for quiche is one that is fully-flavored and smooth melting. For this broccoli version, I’m using a combination of sharp cheddar and Parmesan; Gruyere or smoked mozzarella would also be great.Seasoning. Since eggs themselves are fairly bland, we season them up with good ol’ salt and pepper, and dash of cayenne if you so choose.
