Here’s a tasty Broccoli, Ham & Cheese Crustless Quiche (a frittata‑style bake) that’s easy, cheesy, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a hearty lunch. It’s basically a crustless quiche — same idea but without the pastry! 🍳🥦🥓🧀 (CenterCutCook)
🥦 Broccoli, Ham & Cheese Crustless Quiche (Frittata‑Style)
Ingredients
- 6–8 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked broccoli florets (fresh or frozen, drained)
- 8 oz (about 225 g) diced cooked ham
- 1–2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
- ¾–1 cup milk or heavy cream (for a richer quiche)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: sautéed onion or garlic for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). (CenterCutCook) - Prepare filling
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk/cream.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Mix in broccoli, diced ham, and most of the shredded cheese. (CenterCutCook)
- Assemble
- Grease a pie dish or casserole pan.
- Pour the egg mixture into the dish.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. (CenterCutCook)
- Bake
- Bake 35–45 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly browned.
- Let cool a few minutes before slicing. (CenterCutCook)
🍽️ Serving Tips
- Serve warm with a side salad or fresh fruit.
- Great for meal‑prep — leftovers reheat well the next day.
- You can switch up the cheese (Swiss, Monterey Jack, mozzarella, or a mix!) depending on your taste. (Punchfork)
🧠 Notes
- This dish is very similar to a frittata, since it uses eggs and fillings without a traditional crust. But the custard‑like texture from the added milk or cream keeps it in the quiche family too. (reddit.com)
- If your vegetables hold a lot of moisture (like broccoli), drain or lightly steam them first so the quiche doesn’t get watery. (CenterCutCook)
Would you like a version with spinach and feta or a make‑ahead freezer version (great for meal planning)? 🍽️
