CHEDDAR-CRUSTED & BACON BROCCOLI QUICHE RECIPE BY TASTY



Cheddar-Crusted & Bacon Broccoli Quiche Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: shredded cheddar cheese, unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, ice water, bacon, small broccoli floret, large eggs, milk, pepper, pie weight

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
5 tablespoons ice water
4 strips bacon
2 cups small broccoli floret
6 large eggs
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon pepper
pie weight, coffee beans, or dried beans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Add 2 cups (200 g) of cheddar cheese and the butter to a large bowl. Mix to combine with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
  • Add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons salt and mix well. Add 3 tablespoons of ice water and mix. Add the remaining ice water 1 tablespoon at a time. The dough should hold together when pinched, but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a bit more ice water.
  • Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead with your hands until it comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, then wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a circle about ⅛ inch (8 mm) thick. Carefully transfer the crust to a 9½-inch (24-cm) glass pie dish.
  • Trim the edges (save the trimmings to make crackers!). Poke holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork, then use the tines to crimp the edges. Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with pie weights.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges are crisp.
  • While the crust is baking, prepare the fillings. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 5-7 minutes. Using tongs, remove the bacon from the skillet and let drain on paper towels until cool enough to handle.
  • Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Chop the bacon.
  • Remove the pie weights from the crust, then add the broccoli and chopped bacon to the center. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  • In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the crust.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Cover the edges with tinfoil if they are starting to burn.
  • Let the quiche cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Campbell's

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups chicken, cooked, diced into 1/2 in (1.2 cm) cubes

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, freshly
½ cup green onion, chopped
1 can Campbell's® Cream of Chicken Soup

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, broccoli, bell peppers, cheddar cheese, green onions, and Campbell's® Cream of Chicken Soup. Mix well.
  • Place a baking sheet-size sheet of parchment paper on a large cutting board. Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange next to one another so the long sides are touching. Press the seams together to make one large sheet of dough.
  • Spoon the chicken cheese filling in a horizontal mound across the center of the crescent roll dough, leaving 4-5 inches of space above and below the filling.
  • Starting from the bottom left of the dough sheet, slice a strip of dough diagonally at a 45-degree angle from the filling to the edge. Repeat every 2 inches along the bottom. Repeat with the top dough, cutting in the opposite direction from the bottom.
  • Starting from the left side, fold the first dough strip on the bottom over the filling, then fold over the first dough strip on the top, crossing over the bottom strip. Repeat with the remaining strips to create a braid effect. Pinch the dough together on the left and right sides to seal in the filling.
  • Use the parchment to carefully transfer the braid onto a baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and rosemary. Brush the egg wash evenly over the braid.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the braid is cooked through and deep golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife and serving.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head broccoli head, cut into florets
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
6 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup ham, diced
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 slices ham

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Finely chop the broccoli florets, and then transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add the cheddar, cream cheese, ham, onion powder, and mix evenly until combined. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and paprika, then stir to combine.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice across horizontally, making sure not to cut all the way through.
  • Season both sides of the chicken liberally with the spice mix.
  • Place each chicken breast on a double layer of plastic wrap, then cover with more plastic wrap.
  • Use a meat pounder to thinly pound the chicken breast and form into a rectangular shape.
  • Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
  • Lay down two of the flattened chicken breasts into a greased loaf pan lined with parchment paper, slightly overlapping them.
  • Place the ham slices evenly across the bottom and sides, hanging the ham over the sides of the loaf pan.
  • Spread broccoli mixture evenly on top of the ham, pressing it flat into the edges of the pan.
  • Fold over the flaps of ham to completely seal the mixture.
  • Place the third flattened chicken breast on top. Use a fork to tuck in the edges, creating a seal.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the loaf looks slightly brown and red on top.
  • Cool the loaf in the pan. Release any juices from the pan. Remove the chicken loaf using the parchment paper.
  • Slice into 1-inch (2-cm) slices, and serve!
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or brown florets, as this indicates that it is past its prime.
  • Wash the broccoli thoroughly: Before cooking, rinse the broccoli under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. You can also soak the broccoli in a bowl of cold water for 10-15 minutes to help remove any pesticide residue.
  • Cut the broccoli into even-sized pieces: This will help the broccoli cook evenly. If you are using a steamer, cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets. If you are stir-frying or roasting the broccoli, cut it into smaller pieces, about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli is best when it is cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor. To check for doneness, insert a fork into the thickest part of a broccoli floret. If the fork goes in easily, the broccoli is done.
  • Season the broccoli to taste: Broccoli can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, and olive oil.

Conclusion:

Broccoli is a delicious and nutritious vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you are steaming, stir-frying, roasting, or sautéing it, broccoli is a great addition to any meal. With its mild flavor and versatility, broccoli is a vegetable that everyone can enjoy. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give broccoli a try!
