Tanimura & Antle Green Onions:

Looking to add the perfect amount of freshness and zest to your quiche? Look no further than Tanimura & Antle Green Onions. Green onions, also known as scallions, have a thin white base and straight green stalks that look like giant chives – they are also an excellent wat to bring a burst of color and a mild, oniony flavor that perfectly complements the other ingredients in this dish. Packed with Vitamin C and Calclium, Green Onions also add an extra layer of nutrients to this tasty quiche. 

Deep Dish Pie Crust 

Homemade or Store Bought – the origin of your pie crust does not matter as long as it is rich, buttery, and flaky. The crust for this quiche is the foundation upon which the magic is built—a golden, mouthwatering vessel ready to encase the savory, cheesy filling. 

Wanting to try your hand at a homemade crust? There are several great recipes out there that you can find. However, in order to save time, store-bought pie crusts work just the same, and they are always available at the grocery store.

Cheese

Let’s be honest, as much as we love the fact that this quiche is packed with nutritious, vibrant broccoli florets, the velvety and Indulgent cheese takes this quiche to the next level – and makes it so your kiddos don’t even know they are getting a full serving of vegetables in. With the sharp tang of cheddar and the nutty complexity of Parmesan makes this quiche truly irresistible. Cheddar and Parmesan not your thing? Feel free to add your own twist and incorporate your favorite cheese varieties – or for those busy mornings before school, whatever you have on hand! 

Now let’s get to the fun part – putting together your Broccoli & Cheddar Quiche.

How to Make Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Bake the pie crust until light brown, about 10 minutes.  Let cool.  

Step 2: Prep all your ingredients. Chop Tanimura & Antle Broccoli and Tanimura & Antle Green onions to your desired size. Grate cheese separately, and then combine. If desired, pre measure all remaining ingredients.  

Step 3: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the broccoli, onion and garlic, stirring to prevent browning. 

Step 4: Season with ½ tsp. salt and pepper, cooking for 5-6 minutes, until broccoli starts to soften.  Remove from heat.

Step 5: In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs with milk and cream.  Stir in cheeses, oregano and remaining 1 tsp. salt.

Step 6: Place the broccoli mixture in the bottom of the pre-baked piecrust, followed by the milk-cheese-egg mixture.  

Step 7: Place the quiche on a baking sheet and put on the middle rack of the oven.  Bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is set when jiggled.  

Step 8: Remove from the oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9: Enjoy!
