Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 blind baked pie crust, (either store bought or homemade (see notes) )
  • 4 strips center cut bacon
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, (chopped)
  • 1 cup grated colby jack cheese
  • 3/4 cup milk ((whole, 2%, skim, etc))
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/16 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes until crisp, then chop the bacon into pieces and reserve for later. Add the chopped broccoli to the pan and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute for 5-10 minutes until the broccoli is tender but not mushy.
  • Evenly spread the cooked broccoli and bacon in your blind baked tart crust, and top it with the grated cheese.
  • Make the custard by whisking together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and the nutmeg. Pour the custard into the tart shell, and bake the tart for 25-30 minutes. The tart is ready when you can no longer see liquid but the center of the tart jiggles slightly when moved. Cut the tart into pieces and serve!
