The recipe for Crustless Broccoli Bacon Quiche is one of my favorite recipes.  It is low in carbs, nutritious and delicious.

Crustless Broccoli Bacon Quiche 3

 

I make it very often for my family, first of all because they love it and second, because it is a very easy breakfast or lunch item that can be taken to work.

Have a slice in the morning with your favorite coffee, or make a salad and have the quiche with it for lunch. Delicious!

I always try to get creative in the kitchen, so I use any kind of vegetables I have in the refrigerator.

Sometimes is broccoli, but it could be also spinach, onion and pepper, asparagus, or mushrooms. You can definitely use ham instead of bacon.

I am also interested in eating clean and healthy, so the eggs and sour cream I use are always organic. I also use quality cheese.

However, I had people asking me what do I put in my quiche and why is it different than other recipes out there. I believe it is the cream or the sour cream I mix with the eggs, instead of using milk or half and half as you will see in many American recipes.

In fact, I discovered recently reading the Larousse Gastronomique, that the original recipe for quiche has a base made with beaten eggs and cream, or cream fraiche, the European substitute for our American sour cream. I was happy to learn that, as I always used sour cream in my quiche recipes, because I liked the texture.

How to make Crustless Broccoli Bacon Quiche:

To make this recipe, start by cooking together the onions and the ham or bacon together. When the onion is translucid and the ham cooked, add the broccoli. I sometimes use frozen broccoli, fresh is better.

Cook the broccoli half way through, making sure that any liquid in the pan is almost evaporated. Set the pan aside and let the broccoli, ham and onions cool while you take care of the eggs.

Beat the eggs, add the sour cream, mix, then add the shredded cheese. Place the broccoli, ham and onions in a baking pan and add the mixture of eggs, sour cream and cheese.

Bake and enjoy.(See recipe below) It is easy to make, right?

If you liked this recipe, you might also like some other quiche recipes on the blog, like Crustless Spinach with Smoked Meat and Gouda Cheese . If you have guests or a potluck, this recipe of Vegetarian mini quiche is a great one.
