Ingredients
- 1 inch pie shell or pie crust, pre-made
- pie weights about a cup of dry beans work well
- 6 egg
- 1 cup milk whole
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups broccoli chopped florets

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Set the prepared pie crust on a sheet pan, then line the inside with parchment paper. Add pie weights (dried beans or rice), then place in the oven to bake for 12 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and carefully remove the weights. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper, until well combined. Fold in the broccoli, cheese, and parsley.
- Lower the heat to 350˚F. Pour the filling into the parbaked crust and bake until the crust on the edge is brown and the center is slightly jiggly, 35-40 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
