Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
½ cup chopped shallots, from about 2 shallots
10 oz broccoli florets, cut into 1-inch pieces or smaller
1 teaspoon salt, divided
6 large eggs
1¾ cups heavy cream
Pinch ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1½ cups (about 5 oz) shredded Gruyère

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F degrees and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with butter.
  • Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Do not brown. Add the broccoli, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and ⅓ cup water. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is al dente and the water has evaporated, 3-4 minutes more. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the cream, nutmeg, remaining ¾ teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper.
  • Spread the broccoli and shallots evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle the Gruyère over top. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese.
  • Bake for about an hour, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve.
  • Make Ahead: This quiche can be made a day ahead of time and refrigerated. To warm up individual slices, simply reheat in the microwave for about a minute. To reheat the entire quiche, cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 300°F oven until hot in the center, about 30 minutes.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooled quiche may also be wrapped tightly in foil and frozen for up to 3 months. Remove the quiche from the freezer about 24 hours prior to eating and reheat it, covered with foil, in a 300°F oven until hot in the center.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Butter, for ramekins
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli florets

1/2 cup half-and-half
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (3 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter four 8-ounce ramekins (or a 9-inch pie dish); set aside. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook 1 minute. Drain well; transfer to a cutting board, and blot dry with paper towels. Chop coarsely.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in broccoli and cheese.
  • Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Ladle broccoli mixture into ramekins, dividing evenly. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with crusty bread and a mixed-green salad, if desired.

Tips:

  • Prep your broccoli beforehand: Steaming or roasting the broccoli florets ahead of time saves time and ensures they're tender-crisp in the quiche.
  • Use a quality cheese: A good melting cheese like cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss is essential for a creamy, flavorful quiche. Freshly grated cheese melts best.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The quiche is done when the center is just set and still slightly jiggly. Overcooking will result in a dry, rubbery texture.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing: This allows the custard to firm up and makes for cleaner slices.
