BROCCOLI BACON AND CHEDDAR QUICHE

Category: Quiche and Savory Tarts / Tartlettes

1 9 inch prepared pie shell
1 cup of fresh broccoli florets
3 slices of bacon
1/2 an onion, chopped
1 cup of whole milk
4 eggs
1-2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
Salt & pepper

Steam the broccoli florets for about a minute or two (I do mine in the microwave), so they get a nice green color.

In a large bowl, mix the eggs and milk with a whisk and add the cheese. Add the broccoli to this mixture and combine.

Cook the bacon slices until crisp. Drain and crumble the pieces. Scatter them on the bottom of a prepared 9 inch pie shell.

Cook the onion in the bacon fat and after translucent, using a slotted spoon, transfer to the bowl with the broccoli and custard mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

Carefully pour the broccoli, cheese, onion and egg mixture slowly over the bacon bits in the pie shell. Make sure your pie shell is on a baking sheet, so if anything leaks, you won't have a mess.

Smooth everything out with a spoon to make it nice and even. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Let rest before serving.
