A delightful savory tart featuring broccoli, cheese, and a creamy egg filling, perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Place the frozen pie crust in the pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork.
Pricking the crust prevents it from puffing up during baking.
Prebake the crust according to the package instructions.
This step ensures a crisp base for the filling.
Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in a pan with a bit of oil until softened.
Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the garlic.
Steam the broccoli until tender and chop into small pieces.
Drain the broccoli well to avoid excess moisture in the tart.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Spread the sautéed onion, garlic, steamed broccoli, and shredded cheeses evenly over the prebaked crust.
Distribute the ingredients evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Pour the egg mixture over the filling ingredients in the crust.
Pour slowly to avoid spilling over the edges.
Bake the tart in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Cooling allows the filling to set further, making slicing easier.
