Broccoli Quiche is packed with a lot of goodness, all the way from calcium to protein to fiber. Unlike a lot of stuff that’s good for you, this Broccoli Quiche recipe tastes great as well. Great for brunches or lunches or just a quick snack, do not underestimate this wonderful dish.
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 60min
Serves: 4 – 6
Ingredients:
Broccoli – 10 to 12 oz, chopped
Oil – 2 tsp
Eggs – 8 large (2 cups)
Shredded Cheese – 1/2 cup (cheddar or jack)
Green Chillies – to taste, finely chopped
Cottage Cheese – 1/2 cup
Salt – to taste
Black Pepper – 1/4 tsp
Green Onions – 1 stalk, chopped
Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F(approx 180 degrees C)
2. In a medium size pan, add in the Oil and heat on medium heat.
3. Once hot, add in the Onions and allow them to get translucent.
4. Meanwhile, lightly coat a 9″ pie dish with some cooking oil.
5. Once the Onions are done, add in the Green Chillies, Spring Onions and Broccoli.
6. Cook for about 3 minutes, till the Broccoli is about half the way cooked.
7. Transfer to the pie dish.
8. Break the Eggs in a mixing bowl and add in Salt and Pepper to tast.
9. Add in the Shredded and Cottage Cheese and mix well.
10. Pour this mixture in the pie dish over the Broccoli.

Tips:
1. Add in other vegetables like Cauliflower, carrots, Spinach etc for a change.

Helllo Ladies,
Can we also add zucchini along with broccoli? The quiche looks really tasty.

Yes, zucchini sounds wonderful! we would suggest that you don’t cook it a whole lot because it will fall apart and become soggy. Add it into the pan in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking the broccoli.
Enjoy!

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
This recipe looks great. Can we use muffin pan to make smaller individual quiches instead of a large single one. What should be the temperature setting of the oven and for how long?
Thanks.

The quiche in the muffin pans would look sooo cute! Great idea!
We suggest that you keep the same temperature but reduce the amout of time to about 30-35 min. Allow the eggs to settle and firm up before you pop them out (very very important)!
Send us a picture when you make them.
Enjoy!

YOU CAN GO FOR LOW FAT COTTAGE CHEESE AND LOW FAT SHREDED CHEESE. IT WOULD TASTE THE SAME.

Hi Rizna,
You can omit the cottage cheese and use any cheese you like. The cottage cheese is there to make it lighter. You can make half the amount shown for 2 people.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
Is it possible to substitute half or all the amount of whole eggs with egg whites? I usually substitute 2 egg whites for a whole egg in omelets and scrambled egg recipes to cut down on the cholesterol, but didn’t know if I could do the same with quiche. Thanks!

Hi Malavika,
We have not tried it with egg whites, but it should work. Basically, the eggs are the binding force in quiche and even egg whites do the trick. I would probably not eliminate all of the yolks the first time you try it.
