Bacon Broccoli Cheddar Crustless Quiche
Description
Frozen broccoli florets are thawed and sautéed in rendered bacon grease after the bacon is cooked crisp, which adds savory depth to the vegetable. The bacon is crumbled and mixed with cheese and chopped broccoli in a pie dish. An egg custard made from eggs, milk, Parmesan, and seasoning salt is poured over the mixture, binding the ingredients when baked.
The quiche is baked at a moderate temperature until the egg sets, resulting in a firm yet tender texture with a blend of smoky bacon, tender broccoli, and sharp cheddar cheese. Parmesan adds a subtle nutty flavor and seasoning salt enhances the overall taste.
This crustless quiche is convenient for those avoiding pastry or seeking a simpler preparation. It can be served warm or at room temperature and works well as an entrée for any meal of the day.
Use your preferred seasoning salt to enhance flavor; blends like Lowry's or Tony Chachere's work well.The recipe uses a seasoning salt blend from Avec Tous, showing that seasoning preferences can be personalized.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. broccoli floret $2.10, frozen
- 4 oz. Bacon $1.43
- 4 large egg $1.08
- 1 cup milk $0.31
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese $0.41, grated
- 1/4 tsp seasoning salt $0.03
- 4 oz. cheddar cheese $0.95, medium, shredded, divided
Instructions
- Take the broccoli florets out of the freezer so they can begin to thaw. Place the bacon in a skillet and cook over medium-low heat until very brown and crispy. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain and pour off most of the grease out of the skillet.
- Turn the heat under the skillet up to medium-high and add the broccoli florets. Sauté them in the residual bacon grease until they are no longer frozen. Transfer the broccoli to a cutting board. Roughly chop the florets into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
- Begin preheating the oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan, and seasoning salt.
- Coat a 9-inch pie plate in non-stick spray (or butter, if you prefer). Place the chopped broccoli in the dish along with half of the shredded cheddar. Crumble the bacon over top. Stir the broccoli, cheddar, and bacon together.
- Place the pie plate on a baking sheet for easy transport in and out of the oven. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the bacon, broccoli, and cheddar in the dish. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar.
- Bake the crustless quiche for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is puffed and it is golden brown around the edges. Let the crustless quiche cool slightly before slicing into eight pieces and serving.
Notes
