Unroll the shortcrust pastry and place it, along with its baking paper, into a 22-24 cm round flan dish. Prick the base lightly with a fork.<\/li>\n<li>Wash the broccoli and divide it into small florets. Steam them for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender yet still firm. Alternatively, you can blanch them in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, finely chop the onion (or shallot). Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan and gently fry the onion for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent.<\/li>\n<li>In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the double cream (or milk). Stir in the grated cheese, a generous grating of nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Fold the cooked broccoli and saut\u00e9ed onion into the egg mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the filling into the prepared pastry base, spreading the ingredients evenly. Bake in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown and the filling has set.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Serving &amp; Leftovers<\/h2>\n<p>Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. It&#8217;s delicious both warm and at room temperature, perhaps with a simple green salad. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge, well covered, for 2-3 days and gently reheated in the oven or microwave.<\/p>\n<h2>Nutrition<\/h2>\n<p>Nutritional values are estimates and may vary depending on exact ingredients and portions used.<\/p>\n<h2>One Last Thing<\/h2>\n<p>Embracing a systematic approach to daily cooking can truly transform your kitchen experience.
