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.
