Ingredients

The list of ingredients for making this quiche is short, and it's entirely possible that you have them on hand! The exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of the ingredients:

• Broccoli: I often use frozen chopped broccoli for convenience. But as you can see in the photo above, fresh broccoli works just as well.
• Eggs: I use large eggs in most of my recipes, this one included.
• Sour cream: Plain full-fat Greek yogurt is an acceptable alternative, but sour cream tastes better.
• To season: Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. You can replace the garlic powder with two teaspoons of fresh minced garlic.
• Scallions: You can use the green and white parts in this recipe.
• Shredded cheddar: Other melty cheeses, such as provolone, also work in this recipe.

Variations

• Use different veggies. I like to use broccoli in this recipe because it's one of my favorite vegetables. But chopped cauliflower works just as well. You can also use chopped asparagus.
• I use frozen chopped broccoli in this recipe because it's so convenient. But you can use fresh broccoli and chop it yourself after cooking it.
• Add a handful of extra veggies, such as grated carrots or chopped spinach leaves.
• Vary the cheese you use. I'm loyal to cheddar, but I tested this recipe with shredded Gruyere, shredded gouda, and crumbled feta. All of these options were excellent.
• If you don't need this quiche to be meatless, you can add a cup of cooked meat, such as shredded cooked chicken or diced ham. ¼ cup of crumbled bacon is another lovely addition.

Crustless Broccoli Quiche Instructions

This is one of my easiest recipes, which is why I make it so often. The detailed instructions for making it are listed in the recipe card below. Here are the basic steps:

You start by defrosting the broccoli in the microwave. Drain it well.

If using fresh broccoli florets, chop them into small pieces like this:

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, Kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Stir in the chopped broccoli, scallions, and cheese.

Transfer the mixture to a greased pie plate. Bake the quiche until it's golden brown, and a knife inserted in its center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

Allow the quiche to cool and set in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes, then slice it into 8 triangles and serve.
