HONEY'S BROCCOLI QUICHE: DELICIOUS, EASY, LOW FAT
This scrumptious, healthy broccoli quiche is quick, ridiculously easy, and oh-so-yummy! My grandmother made this quiche frequently to feed her five children! IMPORTANT NOTES: I put the package of frozen broccoli in the microwave for four minutes to thaw. Then, I drain it in a strainer and it's ready to be mixed in with everything else.

DELICIOUS BASIL MUSHROOM QUICHE
Categories Cheese Egg Mushroom Bake Valentine's Day Vegetarian
Number Of Ingredients 15
Steps:
- Unfold pie crust and smooth into 9-inch pie pan, crimp or flute edges. Set aside. Saute the onions and garlic in olive oil until tender and lightly golden. Add the basil and the salt. Saute for about 3-5 more minutes and then set aside. If the pan is fairly dry, add about a teaspoon of olive oil and throw the mushrooms in on low heat. Saute mushrooms until slightly tender. [personal taste] Preheat the oven to 350 (my oven tends to run a little hot, 350 works perfect, 375 browns the quiche too much.) Thoroughly mix the eggs, milk, mustard, and flour and set aside. Combine all the grated cheeses. Sprinkle half of the cheese into the pie shell. Spread the sauteed onions over the cheese. Scatter on the olives and the sauteed mushrooms. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the pie. Cover with the remaining cheese and arrange the tomato slices attractively on top. Bake 38-40 minutes (again, in my oven that's all it takes, the first time you make it... at about 35 minutes start peeking at it occasionally to make sure it's not browning too much) or until the custard is set. Now, scoop the dog toys off the table, throw a diet coke on ice, hit the campy Italian music in the cd player and try to convince the man in your life that "Real men do SO eat quiche!"'
Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful quiche. Some good options include cheddar, Swiss, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
- Add your favorite vegetables to the quiche. Some good options include spinach, mushrooms, onions, and peppers.
- Don't overcook the quiche. It should be cooked until the center is just set.
- Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Quiche is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you'll be able to make a perfect quiche every time.
