CRUSTLESS BROCCOLI QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Generously butter a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie dish.
• Place the broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave on high for 6 minutes, stirring after the first 3 minutes. Drain well.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in the broccoli, the scallions, and the cheese.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie dish. Bake the quiche until golden brown and a knife inserted in its center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
• Allow the quiche to cool and set in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes, then slice it into 8 triangles and serve.

CRUSTLESS BROCCOLI QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F degrees and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with butter.
• Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Do not brown. Add the broccoli, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and ⅓ cup water. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is al dente and the water has evaporated, 3-4 minutes more. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the cream, nutmeg, remaining ¾ teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper.
• Spread the broccoli and shallots evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle the Gruyère over top. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese.
• Bake for about an hour, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve.
• Make Ahead: This quiche can be made a day ahead of time and refrigerated. To warm up individual slices, simply reheat in the microwave for about a minute. To reheat the entire quiche, cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 300°F oven until hot in the center, about 30 minutes.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooled quiche may also be wrapped tightly in foil and frozen for up to 3 months. Remove the quiche from the freezer about 24 hours prior to eating and reheat it, covered with foil, in a 300°F oven until hot in the center.

LOW CARB CRUSTLESS QUICHE WITH BACON, BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a cast iron skillet or other oven safe, skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove pan from heat. With a slotted spoon, remove cooked bacon to drain on a paper towel. Remove grease from the pan and discard or set aside for another use.
• In a large bowl, combine eggs and half and half. Add bacon, broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir to combine. Add egg mixture to skillet.
• Cook in the oven for 45 minutes or until eggs in the center are set. (If it appears to be browning too quickly, cover with foil.
• Allow to cool slightly before cutting into wedges to serve.
• Cook bacon and drain. Allow to cool.
• In a large bowl, combine eggs and half and half. Add bacon, broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir to combine.
• Place bacon and egg mixture in a gallon sided ziplock bag. Seal tightly (you may want to double bag). Be sure to label!
• Place flat in the freezer until ready to thaw and cook
• Thaw in the refrigerator 12-24 hours. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add thawed egg mixture to an oven proof skillet and cook for 45 minutes or until eggs in the center are set.

BRIE AND BROCCOLI QUICHE

Steps:

• Fry the onions in the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes (maybe longer). Set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt generously; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the broccoli in the boiling water for 1 minute, then remove it to the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and set the color. Remove it from the water to drain.
• Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface and press into a deep fluted tart pan with a removable bottom (or a deep-dish pie pan). Lay the onions over the base of the crust, then lay the brocolli pieces on top of the onions. Chop the Brie and lay that in the crust too.
• Whip the half-and-half, eggs and some salt and pepper in a large bowl, then pour it into the crust. Sprinkle the chives on top.
• Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet, cover lightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. (The quiche will still seem slightly loose, but will continue to set once removed from the oven.) Let the quiche sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then, if using a tart pan, remove the quiche from the pan. Cut into slices with a sharp serrated knife and serve.
• Put the flour in a large bowl. With a pastry cutter, gradually work the shortening and butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal, 3 to 4 minutes. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork and pour it into the flour mixture. Add the cold water, white vinegar and salt. Stir gently to combine.
• Form the dough into 2 evenly sized balls and place each ball into a gallon food storage bag. Using a rolling pin, slightly flatten each ball of dough (to about 1/2 inch thick) to make rolling easier later. Seal the bags and place them in the freezer until you need them. (If you will be using them immediately, it's still a good idea to put them in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill.) When you are ready to use the dough to make a crust, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 15 minutes.
