Ingredients
  

1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust

2 cups fresh broccoli florets, steamed until tender and chopped

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup whole milk

4 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

1/4 cup onion, diced (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing onion)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for baking.

    Prepare the broccoli: If not already done, steam your broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until they are vibrant green and slightly tender. Once steamed, chop them into small pieces and set aside.

      Sauté the onion (if using): In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

        Combine the filling: In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to blend together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme (if including). Mix until the ingredients are smooth and well incorporated.

          Add broccoli and cheese: Gently fold the chopped broccoli, sautéed onions (if used), and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Stir until the broccoli and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

            Assemble the quiche: Place your pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully pour the broccoli and cheese mixture into the crust, ensuring it is spread evenly.

              Bake: Transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set in the center and the top has developed a light golden hue.

                Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This resting time helps the quiche firm up for easier slicing. Cut into wedges and serve warm or let it cool to room temperature before serving.

                  Enjoy your Delightful Cheddar and Broccoli Quiche as a scrumptious addition to your family dinner!
