Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Cook the bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides.
- Remove the bacon and place on a plate covered with paper towel to drain excess grease. Chop the bacon into small pieces.
- Remove some of the leftover grease from the frying pan. Add olive oil and heat.
- Add chopped broccoli, green onions, and minced garlic. Cook until broccoli is slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the unbaked pie crust into a circle about 12 inches in diameter and place it in a 9-inch pie dish.
- Blind bake the crust by placing parchment paper inside the pie crust and filling it with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove parchment paper and weights carefully. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and return to the oven for an additional 8 minutes until lightly golden.
Filling and Assembly
- In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, parmesan cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Allow the pie crust to cool slightly. Layer most of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella on the bottom of the pie crust, reserving about 1/4 cup for later.
- Spread sautéed broccoli, onions, and chopped bacon evenly over the cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top and sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
Baking
- Bake the quiche in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Leftover quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze slices individually wrapped and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
