Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 10–11 inch quiche or tart pan with oil or butter. Press the crust evenly into the pan and set it aside.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 3 minutes, just until tender-crisp. Drain well.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the sliced red onion for 2–3 minutes, until softened. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and shredded cheese until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian-style herbs.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Arrange the prepared vegetables evenly over the crust. Lightly season with additional salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables.
  2. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Let the quiche rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
