Broccoli Cheesy Pie

November 27, 2014

So this is a quiche, but guys are weird about “quiche” so it’s a PIE in case they ask. You can play with the ingredients.  It was a rainy day, I didn’t want to make a stew that required me to go to the store so this was dinner. Easy. Cheesy. Pie. Goes great with a salad.

Broccoli Cheesy Pie

Ingredients:

  • 1 Pie Crust (store bought is just fine) 
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large yellow Onion, diced 
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup Heavy Cream or Evaporated Milk
  • 3/4 pound Broccoli florets, steamed or roasted until crisp-tender
  • 1 cup grated Sharp Cheddar (4 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup  Feta Cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edge. Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is dry and light golden, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until light golden, 8 to 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and cream or milk. Add onion, broccoli florets, and cheese and season with 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine, pour into crust, and bake until center of quiche is just set, 30-40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Note: I added about a cup of frozen sweet corn with the onion after they were cooked and then chipotle to the eggs to serve it for dinner. You can add bacon bits or diced ham or chicken or sun dried tomatoes to make it for dinner as well.
