Easy Bacon Broccoli Quiche Recipe (1)

Quiche is one of my favorite things to eat, simply because it really can be eaten at any time of day. A friend of mine’s kids called this “breakfast pie” and I quite agree.

This is perfect for brunch, lunch or a dinner with a yummy arugula salad on the side. Awesome for those nights where you just don’t feel like cooking or just want something light.

Want the basics of how this goes down?

First we’ll cook the bacon, next we’ll cook the broccoli.

Then, we’ll whisk together the egg mixture and add that with the bacon and broccoli to the pie crust. Last, we bake it. Finally… we devour it.

Pretty easy, right?

Why you’ll love this recipe

  • This is a great recipe to make ahead. If you have a little extra time, make a quiche. Future you will be super happy to find it in the fridge after a day at work!
  • Easy and delicious. This is a great one for those new to quiche making.
  • It has bacon. I feel like that should be enough for you to want to eat it.

What is a quiche?

It’s a savory, baked flan or pie, made with eggs and cream or milk. There are so many flavor combinations that have their own names, like Lorraine and Florentine (Ham & Cheese/Spinach, respectively).

Mix up the fillings – meats, cheeses or seafood and make a fabulous quiche of your own creation!

This Broccoli QuicheRecipe is a good’un. VERY quick to prepare (especially if you use a pre-made crust, like I do!) and a quick stint in the oven – and it’s ready to go.

Should Quiche be eaten hot or cold?

Either! I love it both fresh out of the oven, and chilled. You could eat it warm, or chill it and eat it cold with some salad (and an extra large glass of wine).

I have included step by step photos and instructions, as well as tips and tricks in the post. If you’d rather skip all that, scoot right on down to the recipe card located at the bottom of the post.

Safety Tip

  • Grate your own cheese if possible. Store bought pre grated cheese has additives that make your finished dish a little gritty.
  • Thick cut bacon is best in this quiche, it makes the bacon flavor more prominent.
  • When cooking – place on a baking sheet. In case your eggs are bigger than mine, and there’s overflow – you want it on the baking sheet, not baked on the bottom of the oven!
  • Use a store bought frozen pie crust to make this super easy. You can also make your own crust using your favorite crust recipe. You’ll want to blind bake it before filling.
  • If you find that your crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with tinfoil.

How to store quiche

Keep the quiche in the refrigerator. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and eat within 3-4 days.

Can quiche be frozen?

Yes! Just thaw in the refrigerator for several hours, and enjoy.

Can this quiche be made crustless?

Absolutely! Just skip the pie crust, and add the remaining ingredients into a pie plate, and bake. It will be take a little less time than the crusted one. Keep an eye on the center, it should not be jiggly.
