Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold water

Quiche

  • 4 cups broccoli cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cup monterey jack cheese shredded
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.  You can either use this recipe or a pre-made pie crust.  Mix all ingredients together and roll dough out on a well floured surface.  Fit inside the quiche or pie pan.  Run a knife around the edges to cut off any excess dough.  No need to crimp the edges.

  2. Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and begin assembling quiche. Reduce heat to 350°F for the quiche.

Quiche

  1. Cut broccoli or other vegetables into bite size pieces about 1 inch.  Steam over boiling water for 4 minutes until crisp tender.  Plunge into cold water to stop the cooking.  Drain the vegetables.  Spread them into the cooked crust.

  2. In a blender, mix the eggs, milk, mayonnaise, cheese, nutmeg, and pepper.

  3. Add the cheese and whirl until mixed.  Pour over the broccoli.  Bake in the oven at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, until a knife comes out clean.  Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
