Broccoli And Goat Cheese Crustless Quiche Recipes

CRUSTLESS QUICHE

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a deep 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray.
• Prepare any mix-ins (see recipe notes for a broccoli bacon version and the blog post above for more suggestions).
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, salt, pepper, mustard, and nutmeg.
• Scatter the mix-ins evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
• Sprinkle the cheese on top.
• Carefully pour the egg mixture into the dish. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the chives over the top.
• Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until the center is set, about 35 minutes. It should look puffed and golden at the edges, and when a thin, sharp knife is inserted in the center, the center should be cooked through without visible liquid. Let cool a few minutes. Cut into big wedges. Enjoy warm.

GRILLED GOAT CHEESE AND BROCCOLI SANDWICH

Steps:

• Steam broccoli for 4 minutes, until tender but bright. Rinse briefly with cold water and drain well on paper towels or kitchen towels. Chop fine and measure out 1/4 cup. Set aside remaining chopped broccoli for another sandwich or another dish.
• Mash goat cheese in a bowl and add the 1/4 cup chopped broccoli and the fresh herbs if using. Mash together.
• If desired, rub 1 slice of bread with a cut clove of garlic and then purée remaining garlic and stir into broccoli/goat cheese mixture. Spread goat cheese and broccoli over bread. Sprinkle with dukkah. Top with the other slice of bread (rub it with garlic if desired) and press down firmly. Drizzle remaining olive oil over top slice of bread.
• Toast in toaster oven 3 to 4 minutes, until cheese has melted. Remove from toaster oven, press down firmly, cut in half and serve.

CRUSTLESS BROCCOLI QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F degrees and set an oven rack in the middle position. Grease a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with butter.
• Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Do not brown. Add the broccoli, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and ⅓ cup water. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is al dente and the water has evaporated, 3-4 minutes more. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the cream, nutmeg, remaining ¾ teaspoon salt, and cayenne pepper.
• Spread the broccoli and shallots evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle the Gruyère over top. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese.
• Bake for about an hour, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown. Let cool for about 10 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve.
• Make Ahead: This quiche can be made a day ahead of time and refrigerated. To warm up individual slices, simply reheat in the microwave for about a minute. To reheat the entire quiche, cover with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 300°F oven until hot in the center, about 30 minutes.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooled quiche may also be wrapped tightly in foil and frozen for up to 3 months. Remove the quiche from the freezer about 24 hours prior to eating and reheat it, covered with foil, in a 300°F oven until hot in the center.

GOAT CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the greens and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens wilt and most of the liquid evaporates, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to fit in a 9-inch pie plate. Ease into the pie plate and trim the edge; crimp if desired. Scatter the goat cheese and Parmesan in the crust, then top with the sauteed greens.
• Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl; pour over the greens. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the quiche is set, about 20 minutes. Slice into wedges.

BROCCOLI AND GOAT CHEESE MUFFIN QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 315 degrees F. Spray 6 cups of a muffin tin lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat the olive oil over high heat in a saute pan until it begins to smoke slightly. Add the broccoli and caramelize; season with salt and freshly cracked pepper. After about 3 minutes, add the shallots and quickly saute. Cool completely on a tray lined with a paper napkin.
• Combine the cream, whole eggs and yolk in a bowl and whisk in the marjoram and nutmeg. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper.
• Add 2 tablespoon of the vegetable filling to each muffin cup. Sprinkle on a layer of goat cheese and grated Swiss. Divide the egg custard mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Top with any leftover vegetables and cheese.
• Bake until an inserted skewer comes out clean, with no wet custard clinging to it, about 25 minutes. If necessary, bake in additional 5-minute increments. The tops should be golden brown.

BROCCOLI AND GOAT CHEESE QUICHE RECIPE - (3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry dough into a round 12 inches in diameter. Drape the round over the rolling pin and carefully transfer to a 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Gently ease the pastry into the pan. Trim the pastry even with the pan rim. Prick the bottom and sides of the pastry shell with fork tines. Form a double-thick 12-inch square of aluminum foil, poke a few holes in it, then press it into the pastry-lined pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the pastry looks dry but not brown, about 4 minutes longer. Remove from the oven; reduce the temperature to 325 degrees. Bring a saucepan three-fourths full of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain well, pat dry, and set aside. In a bowl, using a fork, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Stir in the green onions, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Scatter the broccoli evenly in the pastry shell. Drop small clumps of the goat cheese evenly among the florets; carefully pour in the egg mixture. Bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. If the edges are browning too quickly, cover them with strips of aluminum foil. Transfer to a rack to cool for 15 minutes. Remove the pan rim and place the quiche on a serving plate. Serve warm. This recipe yields one 9-inch quiche; 4 to 6 servings.
