The Wheeling Gourmet by Nicolas Steenhout

Mise En Place

1. Blanch ( To parboil in boiling water.) [?] the broccoli in boiling water for a few seconds.
2. Grate the cheese.
3. If you are using your own pie crust - prepare the dough. Otherwise, thaw a couple sheets.
4. Heat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F)

Preparation

1. Line the pie plate with the pie crust. If you're using puff pastry, use a fork to poke holes through the bottom and sides of the dough to limit the amount of "puffing" the crust will do.
2. Cook the pastry for 5 minutes with nothing in it.
3. Beat the eggs with the milk.
4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Put half the cheese at the bottom of the par-baked crust.
6. Add the egg & cream mix.
7. Place on floret of broccoli in the center of the pie.
8. Sprinkle the remaining cheese around the broccoli on top of the egg & cream mix.
9. Bake for about 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the quiche should come out clean.

Finition

1. Let the quiche cool down a couple minutes.
2. Remove from the pie dish, and serve.
