Crustless Broccoli & Cheddar Quiche
Description
The Crustless Broccoli & Cheddar Quiche highlights broccoli steamed until just tender, then layered in a greased pie dish with sharp cheddar cheese. A custard is made by whisking eggs, milk, half and half, salt, pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg, which is poured over the broccoli and cheese. Baking creates a set yet moist filling with a delicate texture where broccoli pieces contrast with melted cheddar.
This quiche can be sliced into six pieces for portioning and served warm or at room temperature. Its mild seasoning and creamy custard make it versatile as a standalone dish or alongside salads for brunch or lunch.
