Broccoli Cheddar Quiche
This broccoli cheese quiche is absolutely perfect for brunch, lunch or even dinner! It's delicious served warm or cold, perfect paired with a greens salad and is a recipe that can be made ahead of time!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg lightly beated
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/4 cup water ice cold
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1 large egg + 1 teaspoon water for brushing
filling
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup white cheddar cheese freshly grated
- 1/4 cup gruyere cheese freshly grated
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 1/4 cups broccoli florets chopped
Instructions
- Add the flour, sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse just until combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vinegar and water.
- Add the cold butter pieces into the food processor and pulse until small coarse crumbs remain.
- Sprinkle the water/egg mixture over the flour and pulse again until the dough comes together.
- Remove the dough with your hands and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, roll the dough out and place it in a 9-inch tart pan or (deep dish) pie plate.
filling
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Whisk together the eggs, garlic, cream, cheese, salt and peppers. Fold in the broccoli florets. Pour the filling into the crust. Brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until golden on top and set in the center. Let cool slightly before serving. This is so good served warm or cold!
Notes
I also love to serve this with a greens salad! If you want to do that, I suggest 2 cups of greens per person!
