Shrimp and Broccoli Quiche image

This is a variation of recipe #93358 (Kittencal's Seafood Cream Cheese Quiche). I changed the size to 1 quiche, and changed a couple of the ingredients. For the pie shell, I use a Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 pie crust (9 inch)
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 cup broccoli, steamed and chopped
1/2 lb small shrimp, shelled, deveined, and cooked
4 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
3 large eggs, beaten
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (I use low-fat)
1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
1 dash cayenne pepper, if desired

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425°.
Place pie crust into pie plate, according to the directions on the package.
Depending on your oven, you might find it necessary to pre-bake the crust before filling. You can find directions for "blind baking" at http://www.ochef.com/955.htm If you do that, you will probably need to adjust the baking time for the quiche and eliminate the first baking at 425°.
In a saute pan, melt butter and saute the onion and garlic until soft. Stir in broccoli and shrimp, then pour into pie crust.
Top with shredded cheese.
Mix together the eggs, cream cheese, half-and-half and cayenne (if desired) and pour over cheese. I used a hand mixer for this and had to take out a couple of tablespoons of the egg mixture so it wouldn't run over the pie shell.
Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Reduce temp to 350° and bake for 30 minutes more.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 recipe pastry for single crust pie (or use store bought)
1/2 cup broccoli, cut into 1/2" pieces
3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup light cream
1 can (4.5 oz) shrimp, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cup shredded jack cheese (6 oz)
1 tbsp. flour

Steps:

1. On lightly floured board, roll out pastry to 12" circle. Transfer to 9" pie plate or quiche dish. Trim edges. Flute. Line pastry shell with double thickness of foil. Bake in 450 oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove foil and bake 5 to 7 minutes more or until pastry is nearly done. Remove from oven. Reduce heat to 325.
2. Meanwhile, in small pan, cook broccoli, covered in small amount of salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain well; beat together eggs, milk, light cream and 1/8 t. salt. Stir in broccoli and shrimp. Mix cheese and flour.
3. Add to egg mixture; pour egg mixture into hot pastry shell. Bake in 325 oven for 40 minutes or until knife inserted off center comes out clean. If needed, cover edges of pastry with foil to prevent over browning. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serves 6 Source: My Old Recipes

Tips:

Use a high-quality quiche crust, either homemade or store-bought. A good crust will make all the difference in the final product.
Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp are very delicate and can easily become tough if overcooked. Cook them just until they are pink and opaque.
Use fresh broccoli for the best flavor and texture. If you only have frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
Grate the cheese finely so that it melts evenly throughout the quiche. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but a sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give you the best flavor.
Season the quiche generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
Bake the quiche until it is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the quiche from falling apart.

Conclusion:

This shrimp and broccoli quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover shrimp and broccoli. The quiche can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
