BROCCOLI AND CHEESE QUICHE



Broccoli and Cheese Quiche image

This is a remarkable quiche recipe for a few reasons: The dough is intentionally generous so that it can be formed into tall walls all around, and the filling is jam-packed full of healthy greens. They balance out the butter and cream, right?

Categories     Bon Appétit     Brunch     Breakfast     Broccoli     Vegetarian     Egg     Cheddar     Feta     Cheese     Chard     Milk/Cream     Quiche

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

Crust:
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
11 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Filling and assembly:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 small shallot, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 small head of broccoli (about 8 ounces), halved lengthwise, chopped (about 3 cups)
1 bunch small Swiss chard, ribs and stems removed, leaves coarsely torn (about 4 cups)
4 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1 cup)
2 ounces sharp cheddar, grated (about 1 cup)
6 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup half-and-half or heavy cream or whole milk
3 tablespoons chopped chives
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Special Equipment
A 9-inch springform pan

Steps:

  • Crust:
  • Whisk salt and 2 cups flour in a large bowl to combine. Work in butter with your fingers until largest pieces are pea-size. Drizzle in 1/4 cup ice water and rake with your fingers to combine. Turn dough out onto a work surface and lightly knead to work into a shaggy dough (no dry spots should remain). Flatten into a disk; wrap in plastic and chill until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days ahead.
  • Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 14" round. Transfer dough to pan. Lift up edges and allow dough to slump down into pan, then pat into corners and up around the sides of pan. Smooth out dough so it doesn't have any creases or folds and trim to just below the rim. (Save any scraps for patching.) Freeze until very firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Line dough with 2 layers of overlapping parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans (ideally right up to the rim; pillage the pantry for old dried beans and rice to get you there). Bake until crust is golden brown all the way around edges (peek below the parchment), 60-75 minutes. Carefully remove parchment and pie weights. If needed, patch any cracks with reserved dough trimmings and bake crust just until patches are opaque, about 5 minutes. Let crust cool.
  • Filling and assembly:
  • Reduce oven heat to 325°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook shallot and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add Swiss chard leaves and cook, tossing often, just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Let cool. Stir in feta and cheddar.
  • Whisk eggs, egg yolks, cream, and half-and-half in a medium bowl just to combine. Mix in chives and salt; season with pepper. Scrape vegetable mixture into crust, then carefully pour in egg mixture. Bake quiche until filling is lightly browned and set across the surface but slightly wobbly in the center inch or two, 75-90 minutes. Let quiche cool in pan before unmolding and slicing.
  • Do Ahead
  • Quiche can be baked 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets yield the best flavor and texture in quiche. If using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw and drain it thoroughly before adding it to the quiche filling.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until just tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is a key ingredient in this quiche, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make the quiche filling tough. Beat the eggs just until they are combined.
  • Bake the quiche until it is set: The quiche is done baking when the center is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Don't overbake the quiche, or it will become dry.
  • Let the quiche cool before serving: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the quiche to set properly.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cream cheese quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover broccoli, and it's also a perfect dish for a potluck or brunch. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
