CATALINA'S YUMMY BROCCOLI, ARTICHOKE & CHEDDAR QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease or spray a deep dish pie plate or small casserole dish.

• Add the vegetables and the cheese to the eggs. Stir everything together and pour into the pie plate or dish. (You can also pour it into a prepared pie crust if you want).
• Bake for 50-60 minutes. You'll know it's cooked because it will puff up.
• Once cooked, let it sit for 20 minutes at room temperature before serving. (it tastes better if it sits even longer, ie. 1-2 hours. You can also make it in the morning, let it sit, then reheat for the evening. It doesn't need to be served super hot, just warm).
• You can play around A LOT with this recipe. For example:
• Use cream cheese instead of yogurt, or a bit of both.
• Change the vegetables & cheese to:
• -spinach, red onions, & feta,
• -potatoes, red peppers, onions, & parmesan (use ½ cup only) & rosemary (goes sooo great with the potatoes)
• -roasted red peppers, onions, brie (freeze the brie first, then you can shred it without it falling apart)
• -mushrooms, asparagus, onions, swiss cheese.
• -red & white onions, green onions, any cheese you have.
