How to Make Broccoli Cheese Quiche

Melt butter in a large skillet, then add garlic and chopped broccoli florets. Add cooked broccoli mixture on top of the kale.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the broccoli. If you only have shredded cheddar cheese in the fridge that works too!
Beat your eggs and add milk, salt, and pepper. After stirring, pour egg mixture on top of the cheese.

Love the idea of using kale leaves as a crust! I make crustless quiche all the time — just plop the mess into a pie dish. It can be kinda messy to get out sometimes, though — not something I’d serve to company. But the kale leaves solves that problem! Great recipe — thanks.
