Ingredients
- 4 lices Bacon
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ cups grated cheese
- 1½ cups milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- If you don't have any bacon already crisped, crisp the bacon in the air fryer, oven, or a pan on the stove.
- Cut the broccoli off of the stems into small florets.
- Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl.
- Add the eggs, milk, cheese, bacon, broccoli and spices to a large bowl. Mix well.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust. Don't overfill.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes. The quiche is done when the filling temperature in the middle is 165°F. The middle should giggle a bit, like jello.

Notes
- Choosing the Right Ingredients
- Pie Crust: Use homemade or store-bought pie crust. Pie crust is incredibly easy to make at home, but store-bought, refrigerated pie crust is a great convenience product when short on time.
- Eggs: Use the freshest eggs. If you can access fresh, free-range farm eggs, do so for the best flavor.
- Milk: Choose cream, half-and-half or milk. If you choose milk, use whole milk instead of 2% or skim milk for the best flavor.
- Cheese: This recipe uses sharp cheddar cheese and Queso fresco. We chose these cheeses to use up leftovers from the refrigerator. We recommend the sharp cheddar, but other cheeses that can be used are mozzarella, Swiss cheese, Gruyere, Gouda or Parmesan.
- Broccoli: Use only the small broccoli florets for the quiche. Save larger stems for vegetable stock. Blanche them for 4-5 minutes.
- Bacon: We generally make extra bacon when we make it and freeze leftovers for use in other recipes like this broccoli and bacon quiche.
- Seasoning: Use simple seasonings like kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper and a bit of freshly grated whole nutmeg.
