This Crustless Ham and Broccoli Quiche tastes so good, you won't miss the crust.
I don't know about you, but I love making quiches. They are great for adding in some healthy vegetables. Also perfect for making in advance for lunch if you have some busy days ahead. You can make one the night before, refrigerate and take a slice as you need it, as they normally last a few days, if the family doesn't eat it all, that is.
If crusts are your thing, however. You should check out this amazing Spiralled Zucchini Quiche, is has a yummy hashbrowncrust and the flavours are delicious. There is also this Chicken and Spinach Quiche or this Bacon and Red Pepper. So if you really can't do without the crusts, then those might be for you.
This Ham and Broccoli Quiche is full of flavour and cheesy goodness. I love to use cheese in quiches, as it really packs the flavour, I rarely make a quiche of any kind without using some healthy extra a allowances of cheese.
I use a mixture of both Parmesan and Cheddar in this Ham and Broccoli quiche, and the whole quiche serves 4, if you want a bigger slice, then reduce the cheeses down. A quarter with a nice big salad was enough for me.
I also use fresh broccoli which I just lightly cook and then blot with some kitchen paper just to absorb any moisture, as otherwise it can make the mixture and bit wet and it doesn't cook as well. Bear that in mind if you decide to use frozen broccoli instead of fresh, as it will release a lot more moisture. The sautéed onion, just adds to the flavour.
To cook this quiche I use a flan dish which I grease with a little spray oil, but a springform pan would work fine too.
There are also many more Quiche Recipes to check out. If you fancy a different variation.
This Ham and Broccoli quiche would be great to take on a picnic in the summer, with lots of other little Slimming Eats nibbles. Who needs sandwiches? not me.

I personally have never tried freezing the quiches, as normally I just keep in the fridge and have for lunches, as it will keep about 3-4 days usually. You could certainly try.

A simple recipe, with a wonderful outcome. I make this quite often for myself and my partner. Add a load of salad for a really filling lunchReply

I don’t have a blender. Could I whisk or mix together the ingredients instead?
Reply
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
Blending makes the cottage cheese mix nice and smooth. If you are okay with it not being smooth then it’d fine to just whisk.

Made this for the first time today. I’m not a fan of cottage cheese but once it’s done in the blender with the other ingredients you can’t tell.
