Ingredients
- •Butter(120g)
- •Cream Cheese(113g)
Standard block cream cheese. Neufchatel (1/3 less fat) is a good swap.
- •Flour, All-Purpose, White(240g)
- •Egg, Whole, Large
- •2% Milk(120g)
- •Parmesan Cheese(60g)
Grated Parmesan — the shelf-stable canister is fine for cooking.
- •Garlic powder(1g)
- •1/4 tsp freshly cracked pepper ($0.02)
- •1/4 tsp salt ($0.02)
- •Broccoli(227g)
- •Cheddar Cheese(113g)
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add the butter and cream cheese to a bowl and whip together with a mixer until evenly combined and smooth.
- 2Stir in the flour a quarter cup at a time until a soft dough forms that is not sticky; this should take 3–4 minutes of mixing.
- 3Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Press each ball into a muffin tin well, using your fingers to form a crust up the sides and across the bottom.
- 4Whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan, and garlic powder in a bowl until fully combined; season with salt and pepper.
- 5Finely chop the broccoli florets and shred the cheddar cheese, then stir both into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
- 6Divide the broccoli-cheddar mixture evenly among the 12 dough-lined muffin wells, filling each about three-quarters full.
- 7Bake at 350°F for 32–38 minutes, until the egg mixture is puffed in the center and the edges are golden brown.
- 8Cool the quiches in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to airtight containers while still warm. Divide evenly into 12 portions (1 quiche per container) for meal prep storage, or serve warm.
