How to Make Broccoli and Cheese Quiche

Sprinkle cheese on top of the broccoli.
Beat your eggs and add milk, salt, and pepper. After stirring, pour egg mixture on top of the cheese.
Bake, serve, and enjoy your delicious crustless broccoli cheddar quiche!
Storing Leftovers
Store your Broccoli and Cheese Quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If stored correctly, it will last in the fridge for up to three to four days.

Broccoli and Cheese Quiche FAQs
Should vegetables be cooked before putting in quiche?
Yes! As you will see in this recipe, the broccoli and garlic cook before the next steps. Otherwise, vegetables will not fully cook in the quiche in itself. You’ll want to cook them beforehand, at least halfway through, prior. Cooking entirely through also works.
How long should quiche rest before cutting?
Serve your quiche 10 to 20 minutes before slicing if you want to serve it while it’s still warm. However, the longer the quiche cools, the better the filling will set, leaving your slices cleaner.
Can I use other cheese?
Yes, if you don’t want to use mozzarella cheese or want to add another cheese with the mozzarella, you can. Sharp cheddar cheese is a common alternative.
Want to give it a kick of spice?
To give this broccoli quiche a little extra flavor and a kick of heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top

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.
