This scrumptious, healthy broccoli quiche is quick, ridiculously easy, and oh-so-yummy! My grandmother made this quiche frequently to feed her five children! IMPORTANT NOTES: I put the package of frozen broccoli in the microwave for four minutes to thaw. Then, I drain it in a strainer and it's ready to be mixed in with everything else.

DELICIOUS BASIL MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:
- Unfold pie crust and smooth into 9-inch pie pan, crimp or flute edges. Set aside. Saute the onions and garlic in olive oil until tender and lightly golden. Add the basil and the salt. Saute for about 3-5 more minutes and then set aside. If the pan is fairly dry, add about a teaspoon of olive oil and throw the mushrooms in on low heat. Saute mushrooms until slightly tender. [personal taste] Preheat the oven to 350 (my oven tends to run a little hot, 350 works perfect, 375 browns the quiche too much.) Thoroughly mix the eggs, milk, mustard, and flour and set aside. Combine all the grated cheeses. Sprinkle half of the cheese into the pie shell. Spread the sauteed onions over the cheese. Scatter on the olives and the sauteed mushrooms. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the pie. Cover with the remaining cheese and arrange the tomato slices attractively on top. Bake 38-40 minutes (again, in my oven that's all it takes, the first time you make it... at about 35 minutes start peeking at it occasionally to make sure it's not browning too much) or until the custard is set. Now, scoop the dog toys off the table, throw a diet coke on ice, hit the campy Italian music in the cd player and try to convince the man in your life that "Real men do SO eat quiche!"'
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final product. Especially using high-quality eggs, heavy cream and cheese will ensure a smooth custardy filling.
- Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeating the eggs can make the filling tough. Gently whisk the eggs until they are just combined.
- Blind bake the crust: Blind baking the crust before adding the filling will help to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Use a variety of fillings: Quiche is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings. Some popular options include bacon, ham, cheese, vegetables, and seafood.
- Bake the quiche until the center is set: The quiche is done baking when the center is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the quiche cool before slicing: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This will help to prevent the filling from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, quiche is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you are making a classic quiche Lorraine or a more creative version with your favorite ingredients, following these tips will help you create a perfect quiche every time.
