Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling, and bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook until just tender, about 5 more minutes. Spread this mixture evenly over the pre-baked crust.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the broccoli and onions in the pie crust. Make sure the filling is evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This rest period helps the quiche set and makes slicing easier.

Notes

Make Ahead: Prepare the quiche a day in advance and reheat at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Customize: Swap broccoli with spinach, asparagus, or your favorite veggies.
Prevent Sogginess: Pre-bake the crust and pat the broccoli dry before adding to the quiche.
Cheese Options: Feel free to use gruyere, Swiss, or feta for a different flavor.
