Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche

I made a quiche this time! It came out fantastic! I initially wanted to try a quiche with an authentic French cheese like Gruyere, but after some advice from my parents, I decided to stick with a more mild cheese!
 
The quiche was very easy to put together! I started with a premade pie crust.
 
 

 
 
 

 

Next, I mixed the filling!
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I steamed the broccoli for a short amount of time and then added it to the pie crust.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After that, I poured the egg filling over the broccoli and then added more cheddar on top.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I then popped it in my preheated oven and it cooked up perfectly and the cheese was a golden-brown color!
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Everyone who tried it thought it was delicious!
 
Serves 8
 
Ingredients:
 

1 pie crust

3 eggs

1 egg yolk

1 1/2 cups half and half

1/2 pound broccoli florets

4 ounces grated sharp cheddar

1/4 cup fresh chervil, roughly chopped

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

 
Preparation:
 

1.  Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Roll out the pie crust slightly, so it fits into a fluted 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Chill.
3. Blanch the broccoli in salted boiling water for 2 minutes. Shock in ice water. Drain, and pat dry.
4. Scatter the cheese and chervil on the bottom of the crust. Arrange the broccoli around the crust, florets pointing up.
5. Whisk together the eggs, yolk, and half and half. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into the crust.
6. Place the tart shell on a baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
