Broccoli Quiche Crepe Cups image

When I was very young and just learning to cook, this was one of the first recipes I made. I still make these and my children do, too! -Kristin Arnett, Elkhorn, Wisconsin

Provided by Taste of Home

Categories     Breakfast     Brunch

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1-1/2 cups milk
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
FILLING:
1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli with cheese sauce
3 bacon strips, diced
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine the milk, eggs, flour and salt; cover and process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour., Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly.

Tips:

  • For a crispy quiche crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and almond flour. Almond flour adds a nutty flavor and helps the crust hold its shape.
  • Don't overfill the quiche cups. The quiche will rise slightly during baking, so leave a little room at the top of each cup.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your quiche. Broccoli, spinach, and mushrooms are all great options. You can also add cooked bacon, ham, or sausage.
  • Don't overcook the quiche. The quiche is done when the center is set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the quiche dry and rubbery.
  • Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it before serving.

Conclusion:

Broccoli quiche cups are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a crispy crust, creamy filling, and fresh vegetables, broccoli quiche cups are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
