Broccoli and Cheese Quiche

A quiche is the perfect breakfast, brunch, or dinner! I love sticking healthy vegetables in amongst the cheese.

Preheat the oven to 375.
Wash and cut the broccoli. (I like to cut the florets off, then cut them in half.)
Saute over medium heat 5-7 minutes. add salt and pepper to taste
Cook until lightly brown and they are starting to get tender.
Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Grate cheese and set aside.
In a medium bowl add all dry crust ingredients.
Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until the pieces are very small.
Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time, just until dough comes together.
Once dough comes together, use your hand to press it together the rest of the way (it will seem dry).
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let the dough cool in the fridge for a few minutes.
Flour a surface on your counter.
Place dough on floured surface
With a rolling pin roll dough out until it's about ¼ inch thick.
Place dough in ungreased pie plate cutting any extra from the edges.
Sprinkle grated cheese at the bottom.
Then add cooked broccoli.
Pour in egg mixture.
Bake at 375 for about 35 minutes, or until lightly brown on top.

To ensure a flaky crust:
*Make sure water and butter are very cold.
*Make sure you don't use too much water
