Broccoli Quiche

 

1 ready made, prepared 9 " pie crust

3 cups finely diced broccoli

2 TB butter or stick margarine

1/2 cup chopped yellow onion

1 tsp. grated lemon peel

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

4 large eggs

1-1/2 cups milk

3 TB all purpose flour

1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard

1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese

 

Preheat oven to 375º F. Fit pie crust into a 9 inch quiche or pie pan,

minutes. Remove foil and

beans. Bake for 5 minutes longer. Transfer crust to a wire rack to cool.

 

In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook until

just tender, about 5 minutes.

Drain broccoli and set aside.

 

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until

tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir in broccoli, lemon peel, salt, and pepper; remove from heat.

 

In a medium bowl, combine eggs, milk, flour, and mustard. Mix until smooth.

 

Sprinkle half the cheese into crust. Top with broccoli mixture. Pour egg

mixture over broccoli. Top

with remaining cheese.

 

Bake quiche until center is just set, about 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a

wire rack to cool slightly.

 

Serve warm or at room temperature.

 

Makes: 8 servings.

Hello,

 

I made this for our family a few nights ago and it was a big hit. It

was very very good! A regular in our home now I think.

 

Thanks!

Tammy
