Ingredients

Flakey Pie Crust

  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 12 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter Cold and Cubed
  • ¼-1/2 Cup Ice Cold Water

Broccoli Cheddar Quiche Filling

  • 8 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Pepper
  • ¼ Teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 Cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese
  • 2 Cup Broccoli Florets Chopped

Quiche Optional Add Ins

  • 1 Cup Cooked Bacon Chopped
  • 1 Cup Ham Chopped
  • 1 Cup Mushrooms Chopped

Instructions

Make the Dough:

  • In a food processor combine the flour, salt and baking powder; pulse to combine
  • Slowly add in the cold cubed butter until the butter is crumbled throughout and the flour comes together into small pea size balls
  • Continue pulsing and slowly add the ice cold water ¼-1/2 cup until the dough comes together
  • Remove the dough from the food processor, gently kneed the dough to bring it all together and shape it into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and freeze for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes

Roll out the Dough and Blind Bake

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F
  • Once the dough has had time to rest, roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to into a 12 inch circle and transfer the dough into a 9" deep dish tart pan or pie plate and shape into the pan
  • Refrigerate the crust for 10 minutes before blind baking
  • Remove the crust from the refrigerator and using a fork gently prick holes in the bottom of the crust (this helps the dough to not puff up while baking)
  • Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the crust and fill the center with pie weights or dry rice
  • Bake the pie crust for 20 minutes and then remove the parchment paper and pie weights and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes or until the crust is light golden brown

Prepare the Quiche Filling and Bake

  • While the crust is blind baking; using a hand mixer or electric mixer, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika until all ingredients are combined and fluffy
  • Once the crust is out of the oven, fill the bottom of the crust with the broccoli florets and the shredded white cheddar cheese (add any other ingredient add ins at this point)
  • Pour the quiche filling over the top of the broccoli and cheese
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake the quiche for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set
  • Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving
  • If you have leftovers, wrap the quiche in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days

Notes

Make Ahead and Freeze! 
Quiche is a great recipe the can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer until you are ready to serve! The pie dough can also be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days . Once the quiche is baked, allow it to cool completely and then cover tightly with plastic wrap for 2 months . Thaw the quiche in the refrigerator and then bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes to heat and serve!
