Food Friday-Broccoli Quiche

 Last month we had quiche for Christmas lunch.  They were the prettiest quiches I ever made!  I have to show off a little since I NEVER get a chance to do that!  It also tasted really good!


To make this quiche I followed the following recipe, more or less!

BROCCOLI CHEESE QUICHE

Pastry for single pie crust 
1 cup finely chopped broccoli 
1 cup finely diced onion
1 cup grated cheddar cheese 
4 eggs 
1 1/2 cups cream 
½ teaspoon salt 
Dash of pepper 
Dash of nutmeg 

In a very hot skillet dry sauté the onion and broccoli then put broccoli/onion mixture and cheese in pastry-lined pan. Beat together eggs, cream, and spices in bowl. Pour the custard mixture over cheese and broccoli. Place in preheated over at 375 degrees 35-40 minutes or until top is golden brown and. knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Yield: 6 servings.

In this case I divided the mixture between two pie shells then poured  the egg/cream mixture over the tops.  This cooked for almost an hour.

So good!
