Broccoli quiche is a delicious and wholesome dish that combines the rich flavors of broccoli, eggs, and cheese in a creamy coconut milk base. This recipe makes a great option for a nutritious breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. It's easy to prepare and can be enjoyed by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
Instructions:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add the broccoli florets and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and fork-tender.
- Drain the broccoli and run it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and beat them well.
- Add the coconut milk, ground nutmeg, and black pepper to the eggs, mixing until everything is well combined.
- Use the butter to grease a 9-inch pie pan or quiche dish, ensuring the bottom and sides are well-coated.
- Evenly spread the cooked broccoli florets in the greased pie pan.
- Pour the egg and coconut milk mixture over the broccoli.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
- If you insert a toothpick into the center, it should come out clean when the quiche is done.
- Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Make sure to pre-cook the broccoli by steaming or boiling until tender, which will enhance its flavor and texture in the quiche.
- For a crispier crust, consider using a pre-baked pie shell. This will provide a nice contrast to the soft filling.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to the quiche for extra flavor and nutrition.
- To prevent a soggy quiche, avoid over-mixing the eggs and coconut milk. Gently whisk until just combined.
- Let the quiche cool for a few minutes after baking before slicing to allow it to set properly.
Broccoli quiche is a versatile and satisfying dish that pairs well with a simple side salad or some roasted potatoes. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this quiche is sure to be a hit with its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients. Enjoy your delicious homemade broccoli quiche!
