Directions

  • 1

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. To blind bake the pie crust, carefully place pie crust into a pie pan and crimp edges as desired. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Line with a sheet of parchment paper and fill with pie weights, dried lentils, or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, the crust will be lightly golden brown.

    After 15 minutes, remove the crust from the oven. Remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 4-6 minutes or until golden brown.

    While the crust bakes, combine eggs, half and half, buttermilk, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Mix in the broccoli and cheddar cheese. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
