This broccoli quiche recipe includes cheese and eggs. Made without a crust, it's lighter than the classic quiche. The broccoli is cooked separately and arranged on the baked quiche along with tomato wedges.

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups half and half
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar or Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped pimiento
  • 1 package (10 oz.) frozen broccoli spears
  • 1 tablespoon soft butter
  • 1 medium tomato, cut into wedges

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, flour, and seasonings; beat until well blended. Stir in half-and-half; stir in cheese, onion, and pimiento.

  3. Pour into a lightly buttered 9-inch pie plate.

  4. Bake in preheated 350 F oven 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, cook broccoli according to package directions; drain. Toss with butter until butter is melted.

  6. Arrange broccoli in spoke fashion on top of pie. Place tomato wedges in center. Serve immediately.
