Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Large frying pan
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

For the Quiche

  • 1 whole homemade pie crust unbaked
  • 4 slices bacon good quality
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 head broccoli roughly chopped (about 3 cups)
  • 3 whole green onions chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Cook bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat until golden and crispy on both sides. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel. Remove some of the grease from the frying pan.
  • Add the chopped broccoli, onions, and garlic. Season with a little salt and pepper and saute until broccoli is slightly tender. Chop bacon and add it to the pan. Remove pan from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out one disc of pie dough into a circle, 12 inches in diameter. Place in 9 inch pie dish and crimp edges.
  • Blind bake crust: Place a piece of parchment paper inside the pie pan and add 2 cups of pie weights, dry beans or rice. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes. Remove parchment paper and pie weights. Prick pie crust all over with a fork, then return to the oven for 8 more minutes.
  • While your pie crust bakes, prepare the egg filling. Add eggs, milk and parmesan cheese to a mixing bowl and whisk well to combine. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Layer most of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese into the bottom of the warm pie crust. (Reserve about ¼ cup of cheese for sprinkling on top of the quiche). Sprinkle the broccoli, onion and bacon mixture over the cheese and spread into an even layer.
  • Pour the egg mixture on top. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup of shredded cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, or until set on top.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, or down to room temperature, if desired, before slicing. Store leftovers, covered, in the fridge.
