When you think of Quiche do you think difficult and complicated? If the answer is yes, then this is the post for you! Quiche is actually a easy, healthy and super simple addition to your menu and you will feel super fancy when add Quiche to your regular meal plan. If I am being honest, I do a lot of things just because they make me feel fancy 🙂
This is a great weeknight meal, it’s quick, easy and budget friendly. This recipe makes 2 quiches, if don’t eat both, these freeze really well.
Hope you and your family enjoy it!
I use frozen broccoli because its very budget friendly and I always have it in my freezer. Also, you can make your own pie crust, but for this I choose to use pre made ones. I like to work with my strengths…and pie crust making is not one of them.
I promise this just happened…I only moved the onions a little. This is the way I feel about this quiche! Melt the butter and add the onions, salt and pepper.
Saute onions until tender. 3-5mins.
Add diced turkey bacon and cook until a little crispy, 5-7 minutes. Feel free to leave this out is you want to make this a meatless meal.
Add Frozen broccoli.
Add Chicken broth and stir well to combine. Cook on low-med heat until broccoli is tender and liquid cooks down. Careful not to scorch.
Combine Eggs and milk. Beat with wire whisk until combined. Set aside
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese into each pie crust.
Layer the broccoli and bacon mixture over the cheese.
Pour ~1cup of egg mixture over broccoli mixture. Use all the egg mixture.
Put into a 375degree oven and cook for 30-40minutes, until cooked all the way through (shake it a little to make sure it is solid throughout)
Enjoy!!
I was taking photos of my plated Quiche and walked away for a second and when I came back a wild munchkin had eaten it!! I will have to be more careful next time! 😉
