Rich and creamy quiche filled with chopped broccoli, sliced mushrooms, and cheddar cheese. This broccoli mushroom cheddar quiche is delicious and easy to make.
We need to talk about this quiche! I feel like I’ve been waiting forever to share this one with you. So grab your favorite fork, sit down, and hopefully you can enjoy a slice of quiche with me!
Can you tell? I seriously love quiche. Not everyone does, and I get it, but I don’t think I would mind at all if I had to eat it every single day. There’s something about the creaminess of the eggs and cheese loaded with favorite ingredients like broccoli and mushrooms that is just sooo addictive.
Sometimes when I’m feeling a little lazy, I want a dish that is easy to put together. This quiche is simple with ingredients that you probably already have on hand. Plus, if you have leftover quiche, you can always make it into another meal. I always have extra to bring to work or even reheat for dinner the next night. Or you can always freeze the quiche for another time. Or make one to share at a dinner party. So many options!
Preheat the oven to 350F.
While the oven is preheating, add olive oil to a medium sized skillet over low to medium heat. Allow the olive oil to heat for a minute, then add minced garlic. Cook the garlic for about a minute until browned and aromatic.
Next, add chopped broccoli and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5-8 minutes, until the broccoli and mushrooms become tender. Drain any water that may have developed. You don’t want water to make the pie crust soggy. Set the garlic broccoli mushroom aside for now.
Place a pie crust into a 9 inch pie dish. Spoon the garlic broccoli mushroom mixture into the pie dish.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together a large egg and a tablespoon of milk. Brush this egg wash mixture over the edges of the crust to help it brown.
Add three more eggs into the same bowl, and whisk until beaten. Generally, you’ll need four eggs to make quiche. I didn’t want to waste the egg wash so I added it into the quiche. Now, pour milk and shredded cheddar into the bowl then whisk until combined. Pour this mixture over the broccoli and mushrooms.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
Bake the broccoli mushroom cheddar quiche for about 45 minutes until the crust has browned and the filling looks solid.
Allow the quiche to cool down before slicing into it.
Serve the broccoli mushroom cheddar quiche warm.
Enjoy!

Just made a this quiche with a few added fresh herbs (tarragon, thyme, & basil) and wanted to share that I make it without a crust! This means you just sauté your veggies, make an egg mixture, put it all together in a pie plate and bake! Easy and maybe a bit more healthful? Great leftover warmed briefly in the microwave (no crust = no problem).
Thank you!

Hi! I really enjoy your site….or rather, I would but I find the print so terribly LIGHT that I have trouble reading it. I can’t understand why the print needs to be so darned light. Is there any way you can remedy this? It’s very off-putting. Surely I can’t be the only one to encounter this problem. Other than that, as I said, it’s such a great site and I am about to make your Broccoli Mushroom Cheddar Quiche for dinner tomorrow. I will return, no matter what, but PLEASE consider changing to a darker color print….it would be very much appreciated by us old codgers. Thank you! 🙂
