How to make Crustless Broccoli and Tomato Quiche
Quiche is a simple, quick recipe that you can make very easily. And you will love how easy it is to change up the ingredients to have different flavors in your quiche.
- Preheat oven and prepare pie plate.
- Put defrosted and drained chopped broccoli on bottom of plate.
- Mix all ingredients except cherry tomatoes and pour on top of broccoli. Arrange the cherry tomatoes on top of egg mixture.
- Bake at 350°F for approximately 40 minutes or until no longer jiggly in center.
- Serve warm or room temperature.
What substitutions can we make?
- You can use regular milk instead of half and half. I have never made this recipe with dairy free milk, but I have seen other quiche recipes that used almond milk.
- Chopped ham or sausage can be used instead of bacon. Or leave out the meat. Just add a few more vegetables. There is enough flavor in the quiche, so it should be fine.
- Asparagus, mushrooms and spinach are all delicious veggies that can be added instead of broccoli.
- Plain cheddar, goat cheese, mozzarella and Swiss are some other cheeses that taste great in a quiche.

Notes
* You can substitute milk for the half and half
*Chopped ham or sausage can be used instead of the bacon or you leave it out.
*You can also try other vegetables such as asparagus or spinach in the quiche instead of the broccoli.
*The quiche also tastes great reheated in a 350°F oven. Just cover with aluminum foil so it doesn't get too browned on top. Bake for about 15 minutes until heated through.
