A warm, comforting dish that effortlessly balances richness and lightness. This Easy Crustless Broccoli Quiche is a delightful blend of tender broccoli and a creamy, savoury custard—perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Savoury Quiche Filling:

  • 1 lb broccoli florets (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1 cup milk (whole or reduced-fat)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional, but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Steam or lightly boil broccoli florets for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain well.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened, then add garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Stir in cheddar cheese, Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
  5. Arrange the steamed broccoli evenly in the prepared pie dish.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and distribute the sautéed onion and garlic on top.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown on top. A knife inserted should come out mostly clean.
  8. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Customize with different cheeses, vegetables, or meats. Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for the best texture.
