This is so simple and basic and really quite delicious. It's sort of a cross between a quiche and a frittata; it can be made ahead and re-heated; it's good hot or at room temperature. And, it lends itself to all sorts of variations -- other vegetables, other cheeses, ham or bacon or crab.

Provided by ladygourmet

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups cooked broccoli - chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese - shredded
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese or Parmesan cheese
5 - 6 slices sliced white bread
2 -3 tablespoons of butter or margarine

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven 350 degrees: Butter a 9 inch pie plate. Press the bread into the plate and bake it until it becomes slightly golden; approximately 10 - 11 minutes; remove from oven and let cool slightly before adding the quiche batter. While the bread is baking prepare the quiche. In a large bowl place the broccoli, cheddar cheese, Romano cheese, salt and pepper, and the butter. Beat the milk with the eggs and add to the bowl. Toss the mixture and pour into the baking dish. Top the quiche with a little more grated Romano cheese. Bake 35 - 40 minutes. Let cool for at least 20 -25 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your quiche.

  • Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.
  • Serve the quiche with a side salad or soup. This will make it a more complete meal.
  • Experiment with different fillings. You can use any type of vegetables, meats, or cheeses that you like.
