Ingredients

1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade)

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup grated Swiss cheese (or cheddar)

4 large eggs

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Prep the Broccoli

Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly. Attach the 2-Blade Set to your vegetable shredder and secure it to the countertop with its stable suction base—no slipping or wobbling. Feed the broccoli into the hopper and turn the Z-shaped handle a few times to create fine, even shreds.

The sharp stainless steel blades ensure uniform pieces that blend seamlessly into the quiche.

2. Grate the Cheese

Keep the 2-Blade Set on the cheese shredde. Add the Swiss cheese block to the hopper and turn the handle effortlessly to shred it into fluffy, fine pieces. The food pusher protects your hands, and the detachable handle handles large batches with ease.

3. Sauté the Broccoli

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded broccoli and sauté until tender and bright green. Set aside to cool slightly.

4. Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined. Stir in the sautéed broccoli and half of the grated cheese.

5. Assemble the Quiche

Place the pie crust into a pie dish. Pour the broccoli-egg mixture into the crust, then sprinkle the remaining grated cheese evenly over the top.

6. Bake

Preheat your oven to a temperature suitable for baking. Bake the quiche until the center is set and the top is golden brown. The cheese will melt beautifully, creating a deliciously gooey layer.

7. Serve

Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with a side salad or enjoy it on its own!

Tips and Variations

Broccoli Swap: Use spinach or kale (shredded with the 2-Blade Set) for a different green.

Cheese Mix: Combine Swiss with Gruyère (shredded with the 2-Blade Set) for extra flavor.

Crustless Option: Skip the pie crust for a low-carb version.

Herb Boost: Add chopped fresh dill or parsley to the filling.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
