FETA VEGGIE QUICHE
This is a basic recipe that can be adapted to your tastes, or (more likely, in my case) what's getting old in the fridge. To make it easier, I use a bought pie crust, but homemade would definitely make it better!

BROCCOLI AND CHEESE QUICHE
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?

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:
- To save time, you can use a pre-made pie crust. Just be sure to thaw it according to the package directions before filling it.
- If you don't have any feta cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan.
- You can add other vegetables to this quiche, such as spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers.
- Be sure to cook the quiche until the center is set. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of the quiche. If it comes out clean, the quiche is done.
- Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to set and hold its shape.
Conclusion:
This broccoli, mushroom, and feta cheese quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this quiche is sure to become a favorite in your home.
