For the Quiche:
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)
- 16 ounces frozen chopped broccoli (or fresh broccoli cut into florets)
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or full-fat Greek yogurt)
- 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or 1/2 teaspoon of any other salt)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup scallions (chopped, including both white and green parts)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded, about 4 ounces)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously butter a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Broccoli:
- For Frozen Broccoli: Place the chopped broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add ¼ cup of water, cover, and microwave on high for 6 minutes, stirring after the first 3 minutes. Drain well.
- For Fresh Broccoli: Place the broccoli florets in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add ¼ cup of water, cover, and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Drain well, then chop the florets into small pieces.
- Mix the Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Stir in the prepared broccoli, chopped scallions, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Bake the Quiche:
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie dish. Bake in the preheated oven until the quiche is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the quiche to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. Slice into 8 triangles and serve warm or at room temperature.
