Tips to Make Broccoli Cheddar Quiche

For a crispier crust, blind bake the pie crust for about 10 minutes before adding the filling.
Feel free to add other vegetables you like, such as bell peppers or spinach, for more flavor and nutrition.
Ensure your broccoli is chopped into small pieces for even mixing and cooking.

Variation

You can easily make this quiche crustless if you prefer. Simply skip the pie crust and pour the egg mixture directly into a greased pie dish. It will still be delicious and lighter.
