Broccoli and Cauliflower Quiche

For the Texas v. Oklahoma game, Greg suggested that I make a quiche. Adrienne and I made mini quiches last year, but I've never made a full-sized quiche. I started by purchasing a pre-made pie crust from Trader Joes and put it in my new le creuset skillet. (My pie pan is stored away so I decided to improvise).

Then, I steamed pieces of broccoli and cauliflower, and I sauteed onions. I spread these ingredients all over the pie crust. Then, I beat a dozen eggs, added milk, and then stirred in shredded cheddar cheese. I poured this mixture over the pie crust covered with the veggies.


Then, I baked at 375 for 45 minutes. It was at this point that I realized I forgot to bake the pie crust before adding the filling. Luckily the crust still turned out golden brown. I think my cast iron pan helped cook the crust while cooking the filling. I also realized that I forgot to add salt and pepper, so I quickly sprinkled it over the quiche as it was baking.  Even though some mistakes were made, it was delicious!  This quiche was super simple, and super delicious! YUM!!!
