Crustless Broccoli-Cheddar Quiches

This is a Martha Stewart Recipe.

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon butter, for ramekins
• 1 (10 ounce) package  frozen broccoli florets
• 6  large eggs
• 1⁄2 cup half-and-half
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3⁄4 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.
