This low-carb Crustless Broccoli Cheddar Quiche is light and delicious, perfect for breakfast or brunch (or even a light dinner)!

INGREDIENTS:
cooking spray
3 cups chopped broccoli florets
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
2/3 cup 2% milk
1/4 cup half & half cream
5 large eggs
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
pinch freshly grated nutmeg

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a pie dish with oil.

2. Steam the chopped broccoli florets in the microwave with 1 tablespoon water until tender crisp and green but not mushy, about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.

3. Evenly spread the broccoli in the dish and top it evenly with the grated cheddar cheese.

4. Make the custard mixture by whisking together the milk, half and half, eggs, salt, black pepper, and the nutmeg. Pour the custard into the dish and bake 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set.

5. Cut the quiche into 6 pieces and serve.



Broccoli Quiche Variations:
You can add some diced ham or bacon and use slightly less broccoli.

Try this with mozzarella cheese or Colby Jack cheese in place of cheddar.

You can swap more milk in place of the half & half cream, but the texture won’t be as creamy, it will have a spongier texture.

Make them in individual ramekins in place of one large pie dish.

If you wish to use a crust, follow the directions for this recipe using a deeper pie dish, and use less broccoli.

Refrigerate 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

These petite crustless quiche are SO good, loaded with turkey kielbasa, veggies and cheese. This slimmed down quiche will not disappoint. Make them ahead for grab-and-go breakfast for the week!

INGREDIENTS:
olive oil spray
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/3 cup chopped bell pepper
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 medium tomato, diced
6 oz turkey kielbasa, diced
2 cups baby spinach
5 large whole eggs, beaten
4 large egg whites
1/3 cup fat free milk (or milk of choice)
1/3 cup all purpose flour*
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
3 oz shredded cheddar cheese
*For gluten free use GF all purpose flour.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a nonstick muffin pan with olive oil spray.

2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

3. Sauté onions and salt for 5 minutes, until soft, add bell peppers, garlic, tomato, kielbasa sauté for another 5 to 7 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Set aside.

4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg whites, milk, flour, salt and pepper until smooth.

5. Add the cheese and cooked kielbasa mixture to the bowl and mix well.

6. Pour into the prepared muffin pan and bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until firm.


How to store:
If making these ahead, wrap them in plastic wrap in pairs or containers so you can just grab and go. These will last refrigerated 4 to 5 days, or can be frozen. To reheat, microwave about 1 minute.

Variations:
You can swap the veggies for anything you like, and the kielbasa can be swapped with ham or sausage.
I added some flour to the eggs, it gives the egg the perfect texture of a quiche, without the cream but if you prefer to make them low-carb, you can leave it out and add another egg.
