Broccoli Cheese Quiche
1 refrigerated pie crust (homemade also works great)
3-4 cups broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups shredded cheese (I like using a mix of provolone and cheddar)
8 eggs
1/2 cup half and half
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Preheat the oven to 375. Press the pie crust into a pie dish, shaping it as you like. Add the broccoli to a microwave safe bowl and add 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave 2-3 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Drain the broccoli and spread it in the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the broccoli. In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, half and half, flour, salt, and pepper until well blended. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli mixture and top with remaining cheese. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until the top of the quiche is lightly golden and only jiggles slightly when shaken gently. Enjoy!
