Tare pie crust to fit in cupcake molds. Make sure there are no gaps and that the crust lips over so no ingredients get stuck to the pan.

Prep Broccoli

We're going to blanch the broccoli.
First we need to set a pot with water and a strainer on mid-high heat.
We'll let the broccoli sit here for about 10 minutes. During that time we'll go to the next step.

Stack dry ingredients, don't hesitate to pack these well. I only put around 2 soup spoons of wet mix per quiche. If you want this to be more mushy you'll need to make more wet mix.
And add your broccoli as a beautiful center topping.

Set in Oven
