Quiche with Broccoli Recipe
Yesterday I tried a very delicious custard pie and broccoli – so delicious that I couldn’t stand it and asked the chef. The result is in front of you. Of course, there are many recipes for this pie on the site, including broccoli, too, but this is not. I liked the minimum of product names here (nothing superfluous), a thin crust of delicious dough and a lot of fillings.

Instructions
  1. To make the dough, mix the flour and salt in a bowl, then add the softened butter, egg and water. Quickly knead the dough until smooth. Form a ball of dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and send it to the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
  2. Broccoli can be fresh or frozen, it doesn’t matter, the procedure is the same. Divide the broccoli into small inflorescences, put it in a saucepan with boiling water, cook for 4 minutes. Cover so that the sprouts retain their bright green color. Then put the cabbage in a bowl of cold water with ice for 5 minutes (I add ice cubes), then flip it into a colander and drain the water. Look how bright and juicy broccoli turns out.
  3. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it into a circle, the size of which is slightly larger than the diameter of your cake mold, you need to take into account the height of the sides. It is more convenient to roll out the dough between two layers of baking paper. First, spread the dough on the paper with your hands, and then roll it out with a rolling pin. As soon as the dough rolls out to the desired size, we need to carefully remove the top layer of paper. Chop the dough with a fork. Put the dough together with the bottom layer of baking paper into a baking dish. Now it’s time to align the dough and form the sides, pressing the dough tightly against the walls of the mold. At this stage, you do not need to strive for beauty, let the sides be of different heights.
  4. As soon as you form the sides, take scissors and carefully cut off the extra layer of dough protruding above the sides – here I got carried away, and cut off the paper along with the dough, but in general it is better to leave it, so it will be more convenient to move the baked cake. Prepare the filling: lightly whisk cream, milk, eggs, salt and spices, add grated cheese and mix. At that moment, I decided that I would add feta cheese, and therefore did not add any spices or salt.
  5. Pour the filling into the mold along with the dough. Put the broccoli on top. If desired, you can add pieces of feta, but this is not necessary. Please note, I have a shape of 24 cm, the filling does not reach the edge by about 1 cm, this was not enough, because the filling layer will rise in the oven. Nothing escaped, but it was exciting. It is better to take a wider shape, 26-28 cm.
  6. Put the pie in a preheated 200C oven and bake for 20 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 180C and bake for another 30 minutes. The pie is ready! Let it cool down a little. Enjoy your meal! Comments: 1. Bake the possible base for the keisha lightly for 10-15 minutes in the oven, this is done so that with a large amount of liquid filling, the dough is cooked. In this recipe, this was not required, because it turned out to be a very thin layer of dough and everything was baked perfectly, but you keep this in mind. 2. The total amount of liquid in the filling should be at least 100 ml – you can reduce the amount of cream, replace milk with sour cream or do without milk, but 100 ml of cream is iron. If you significantly reduce the amount of filling, then 1 egg will be enough. I pour 200 ml of cream with 9% fat content + 100 ml of milk.
