Ingredients:
4 strips bacon
1 cups broccoli, chopped
1 cup grated Cheddar or Colby Jack Cheese
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (9 inch) pre-baked shell (see recipe below)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes until crisp, then chop the bacon into pieces and reserve for later. Add the chopped broccoli to the pan and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute for 5-10 minutes until the broccoli is tender. Do not overcook or it will get mushy.
Evenly spread the cooked broccoli and bacon in crust, and top it with the grated cheese. Whisk the milk, cream and eggs together. Add salt and pepper. Pour liquid into the baked shell, and bake the quiche for 25-30 minutes. The quiche is ready when you can no longer see liquid but the center of the tart jiggles slightly when moved. Cool slightly and then serve.
