Crustless Broccoli-Cheddar Quiches

One Little Deer's Note:

This is a Martha Stewart Recipe.

• Total Time: 55 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 tablespoon butter , for ramekins
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets
• 6 large eggs
• ½ cup half-and-half
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄8; teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter four 8-ounce ramekins (or a 9-inch pie dish); set aside. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook 1 minute. Drain well; transfer to a cutting board, and blot dry with paper towels. Chop coarsely.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in broccoli and cheese.
3. Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Ladle broccoli mixture into ramekins, dividing evenly. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with crusty bread and a mixed-green salad, if desired.

This comes together quick and it tastes great! I used fresh-cut broccoli, which I steamed for 6 minutes- judging from the finished dish it was just the right amount of time. I especially loved that this was baked in a pie dish. Thanks, One Little Deer.

I used fresh broccoli that I steamed. I didn't have cream so used milk. I cooked it 10 more minutes. Thanks One Little Deer :) Made for PAC Fall 2011
