Broccoli QUICHE

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon of butter for a pan

• 1 (16 oz package) frozen chopped broccoli

• 8 large eggs

• 1/2 cup cream cheese (or full-fat Greek yogurt)

• 1 teaspoon coarse salt (not fine salt)

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/4 cup chopped chives, white and green parts

• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (4 oz)

Preparation

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Generously grease a 9-inch pan.

• Place the broccoli in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/4 cup of water. Cover and microwave on high for 6 minutes, stirring after the first 3 minutes. Drain well.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream cheese spread, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the broccoli, scallions, and cheese.

• Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.

• Allow the quiche to cool and place on a wire rack, about 15 minutes, before cutting into 8 triangles and serving.
