Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and mix in steamed broccoli. Gradually stir in eggs. Transfer to the pie crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and continue baking until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
