Broccoli Quiche recipe is a favorite of young and old alike. If you have some people in your household who don’t like mushrooms, you can chop them very tiny, or just leave them out. Same goes for the onions. But, I really do recommend leaving the mushrooms and onions because they are what takes this broccoli cheddar quiche over the top flavor-wise!!

Broccoli Quiche recipe only uses 3 eggs and 1 cup of whole milk. It is full of broccoli with a scrumptious layer of cheese on the crust. There is no need to pre-bake the pie crust, the layer of cheddar cheese prevents the bottom crust from becoming soggy. Serve Broccoli Quiche with a salad for a complete lunch or dinner. For breakfast, broccoli quiche can stand alone or alongside a fruit salad, or simple toast.

Homemade Broccoli Quiche, Yum!

Homemade quiche is a favorite in our family! I love to have a variety baked up and in the freezer for super impressive, yet simple meals when family or friends stay over. Whether we serve broccoli-cheddar quiche, ham and bacon quiche, or spinach-mushroom quiche, they are sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. I usually serve a variety of quiches when we have company, but my go-to, best-loved version for just us is my old trusty stand-by, Broccoli Quiche recipe!

When I make my favorite pie crust, I like to save some dough to freeze in large sealed bags. This way, whenever we get craving broccoli quiche, I can have the pie crust thawed out by the time the broccoli filling is made. This makes for an extremely quick and easy dinner! Of course, any kind of easy quiche recipe does take 40-50 minutes to bake, so allow for that when planning to have the best broccoli quiche for supper.

History of Quiche

Quiche, although it is considered a French food, actually originated in Germany. The word quiche is from the German word Kuchen, which means cake. It wasn’t until the mid 1950s that quiche gained popularity in the U.S. There are so many versions of quiche today, especially throughout Europe and North America. Try broccoli quiche to celebrate National Quiche Lorraine Day on May 20!

Ingredients in Broccoli Quiche Recipe

• Butter, just for sauteeing the onion and mushrooms.
• Onion, chopped pretty small.
• Mushrooms, I slice them now that my children will eat them, but when they were younger I would chop them very tiny so they were just brown specks in the quiche and my lovely non-mushroom eating children would be none the wiser;-0
• Flour, this will thicken the quiche.
• Salt and pepper, just to taste.
• Milk, I use whole milk but if you want it creamier, choose the fat level in your milk/cream you prefer.
• Eggs, like I said before, this recipe only needs 3.
• Broccoli, chopped and cooked. To cook just toss into boiling water and stir for 2 minutes maximum, then drain.
• Cheddar cheese, grated, you can use either medium or sharp cheddar. I prefer the old/sharp cheddar for the abundance of flavor.
• Pie crust, enough to line one 9 inch pie plate.

How to Make Broccoli Quiche Recipe

1.Melt the butter in a large saucepan.

2. Add the onion and mushrooms and saute until they are soft.

3. Add the flour, salt and pepper, and stir.

4. Stir in the milk until it boils and thickens, then remove from the heat.

5. Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. Then, stir them into the thickened milk mixture.

6. Add the broccoli and stir in.

7. Put the pie crust in the 9 inch pie plate. Place the grated cheddar on the bottom of the prepared pie shell.

8. Pour the broccoli mixture over the cheese.

9. Bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes until an inserted knife comes out clean.
