Omitting the crust in this crustless broccoli quiche cuts down on prep time, cook time, and carbs -- and the cheesy custard is the best part anyway.

Categories     Breakfast & Brunch

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
½ cup chopped shallots, from about 2 shallots
10 oz broccoli florets, cut into 1-inch pieces or smaller
1 teaspoon salt, divided
6 large eggs
1¾ cups heavy cream
Pinch ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1½ cups (about 5 oz) shredded Gruyère

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.

SMALL TUNA AND BROCCOLI CRUST-LESS QUICHE



Small Tuna and Broccoli Crust-Less Quiche image

I threw this together for lunch today, I'm doing a low carb diet right now and thought a quiche would be a nice change from a salad type lunch. I didn't specify what kind of cheese to use but please do not use a mild cheese like mozzarella or a mild cheddar because it will not have enough flavor for the quiche. I used goat cheese that had been immersed in wine, but an extra sharp cheddar, gruyere, or swiss would work really well. ***You will need a 6-inch pie plate for this recipe, you can POSSIBLY use a normal size pie plate if you double the recipe, but proceed with that at your own risk.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh broccoli and tuna will give your quiche the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a bit of a crunch.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese or a Gruyère cheese will give your quiche a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make your quiche tough.
  • Bake the quiche until it is set: The quiche is done when the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the quiche cool before slicing: This will help the quiche to hold its shape when it is sliced.

Conclusion:

Crustless broccoli tuna quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover broccoli and tuna. With its simple ingredients and straightforward instructions, this quiche is sure to become a favorite in your household.
