Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: If using a store-bought pie crust, follow the package instructions for pre-baking. If making your own, roll it out and place it in your pie dish, trim excess, and prick the bottom with a fork.
  3. Step 3: Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling salted water for about 2 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water.
  4. Step 4: In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Step 5: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, grated nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy.
  6. Step 6: Spread the blanched broccoli and sautéed garlic in the pie crust, sprinkle with Cheddar and Parmigiano-Reggiano, and pour the egg mixture on top.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 35-40 minutes until set and golden on top; check doneness with a knife.
  8. Step 8: Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
