Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

All-butter pastry dough
10 ounces (1-inch-wide) broccoli florets (with 1 to 2 inches of stem attached)
2 large garlic cloves
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
5 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, coarsely grated (2 cups)
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Equipment: a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate or a 9-inch (2-inch-deep) round fluted tart pan with removable bottom; pie weights or dried beans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round. Fit dough into pie plate, letting excess hang over edge. Fold overhang inward and press against side of pie plate to reinforce edge. Prick bottom all over with a fork. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Line pie shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake until pastry is set and edge is pale golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Carefully remove foil and weights, then bake shell until deep golden all over, 15 to 20 minutes more. Put pie plate in a 4-sided sheet pan. Leave oven on.
  • While shell bakes, cook broccoli in a 3-quart pot of boiling salted water 4 minutes. Drain broccoli and rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then pat dry.
  • Mince and mash garlic to a paste with a generous pinch of salt.
  • Whisk together garlic paste, eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, cayenne, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Pour filling into pie shell and add broccoli, then sprinkle with cheeses.
  • Bake quiche until custard is just set, 45 to 50 minutes. (Center will tremble slightly; filling will continue to set as it cools.) Cool at least 20 minutes.
  • Serve quiche warm or at room temperature.

The quiche was a little dry, but overall it was a good recipe. I would probably add more milk or cream next time.

This quiche was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some additional herbs and spices.

This quiche was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The broccoli and garlic were a great combination, and the cheese was melted and gooey.

I'm not a big fan of quiche, but this one was really good. The broccoli and garlic gave it a lot of flavor.

This quiche was delicious! I used a pre-made pie crust to save time, and it turned out great. The broccoli and garlic were a perfect combination.

This broccoli garlic quiche was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.
