How to Make an Easy Broccoli and Rice Quiche

Quiche is great any time of the day and has endless variations and ingredients. Here is one of my all-time favorite recipes -- a very filling, flavorful quiche with rich chedder cheese, broccoli florets and rice.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• four eggs
• one cup of milk
• a cup of chedder cheese (or smokey chedder)
• one package of all-in-one frozen broccoli, cheese and rice (Green Giant, for example)
• Salt, Pepper
• Fresh or Powdered Garlic
• One frozen pie shell

1. Preheat the oven to 375. Let a regular, deep dish pie crust thaw for about twenty minutes on the counter.
2. Beat together four eggs and one cup of milk. Add salt and pepper to taste and one teaspoon of garlic.
3. In a seperate bowl, heat up frozen package of broccoli, cheese and rice until fully steamed and ready to serve.
4. In frozen pie shell, sprinkle a layer of chedder cheese.
5. In pie shell, pour broccoli mixture on top of chedder cheese.
6. Slowly pour egg/milk mixture on top of ingredients in pie shell. Sprinkle the rest of the chedder cheese on top.
7. Put quiche into the oven on the top burner. Slide an empty cookie sheet on the second rack to catch any egg mixture that may fall from the sides of the shell.
8. Bake for forty-five minutes or until golden brown on top.

Tips & Warnings

• Quiche should serve five to six people
• Do NOT pre-heat the pie shell, or it may burn while baking.
