Crustless Broccoli Quiche

Recipes »  Breakfast  »  Egg Dishes

If you routinely discard the broccoli stems, you�re missing out on some potent nutritional benefits broccoli stems are rich in vitamin C, folate and fiber. Because the skin can be fairly tough, peel it off with a vegetable peeler or very sharp knife; take care to remove just a thin layer; then cut the tender stems into slices or chunks.

"FABULOUS crustless quiche recipe! I cur the milk by half and added bacon crumbles (pre-cooked) to the top. LOVED this, turned out beautifully, and the rosemary and thyme give it a hearty country flavor!" - CarolaGirl01
