Simple Broccoli Quiche

Ingredients

2 9-inch frozen deep-dish pie crusts
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, diced
4 c. fresh broccoli florets, chopped
12 oz. sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
6 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
2 c. half & half
1 t. salt
2 t. freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1. Place oven rack in middle position, place large cookie sheet on rack and preheat to 375°.
2. Remove pie crusts from freezer and let stand for a couple minutes. Pierce crusts with fork before baking on cookie sheet for 9-11 minutes.
3. While the crust bakes, heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion to skillet and cook until they are translucent, 6-8 minutes.
4. When finished baking, remove pie crusts from oven and add broccoli florets and cheese to them.
5. In medium bow, whisk together eggs, yolks, half & half, salt, and pepper. Pour mixture evenly into both pie crusts.
6. Bake on pre-heated cookie sheet for 35-40 minutes or until quiche is set and a knife in the center comes out clean. Move quiche to wire rack and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
