5. Add the blanched broccoli florets to the bowl and mix well to combine.

6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

8. Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips and variations

– If you don’t have a pie crust, you can make a crustless quiche by pouring the filling into a greased 9-inch pie dish and baking it for 30-35 minutes.
– You can use frozen broccoli florets instead of fresh ones, but make sure to thaw and squeeze out the excess moisture before adding them to the filling.
– You can add other ingredients to the filling, such as cooked bacon, ham, or sausage, sautéed onions, mushrooms, or peppers, grated cheese, or herbs like parsley, basil, or thyme. Be creative and experiment with different flavors!
– You can serve the quiche warm or cold, with a salad, soup, or bread on the side.
