Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut pie crust into 3 1/2-inch circles. Use a knife or a cookie cutter. I got 8 out of my two pie crusts.
Gently push the crust into the muffin tin. If the dough is hard to work with, put it back in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes. I also used some of the extra dough to patch spots that broke.
Place a muffin liner on top of each so that it fits. Fill with beans. Bake for 10 minutes.
Add the eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a blender or a large mixing bowl.
Blend or whisk until smooth and frothy.
Add broccoli to the cups.
Pour the egg mixture over.
Top with cheese.
Bake until puffy and set, about 10 to 15 minutes.
