Method
Crust
Step 1
Place flour, salt and butter into the food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Add cold water and process until soft dough is formed. This takes a few seconds, don't over-mix.
Step 3
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer to a 10 inch pie pan. Evenly press the dough onto the bottom and sides. Prick the base with a fork several times and freeze for 20 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line the crust with parchment and fill with baking weights or dry beans. Bake for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the parchment and beans and bake for another 10 minutes until the edges start to brown slightly.
Quiche Filling

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream. Add the salt and spices.
Step 2
Spread cheese on the crust, leave 2 tsp for the top. Add chopped dried tomatoes on top.
Step 3
Place chopped broccoli on top, pressing slightly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli, sprinkle with 2 tbsp of the remaining cheese, and place 4 cherry tomatoes on top.

Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crust on the edge is brown and the center is just set.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
