Easy low carb broccoli quiche that is perfect for quick workweek morning breakfasts.
First, steam your broccoli so that it is cooking while you are preparing the crust and filling. You will want your broccoli steamed properly and allow time to cool somewhat before adding it to the filling mixture. Adding hot broccoli to your filling mixture can start cooking the eggs to quickly.
Spray your baking dish with a non-stick spray. I use the butter flavored Pam, but you can use your favorite brand. I use a 9 in glass pie dish.
In a small mixing bowl add the Carbquick mix and water together. Combine until incorporated evenly.
Put crust mixture into baking dish and spread evenly over bottom and up the sides of the dish. I use a fork to press the mixture out as even as possible. Crust will seem thin but will puff up slightly during baking.
Place in a preheated 425 degree oven for approximately 14 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove crust from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Crack eggs into a medium size mixing bowl.
Add shredded cheese or cheese combinations to total 6 ounces, salt and any optional meat and stir.
Add COOLED steamed broccoli and combine.
Pour filling mixture into already baked crust in baking dish.
Place into a 350 degree preheated oven for approximately 35 minutes and bake until top of quiche is slightly golden.
After removing quiche from oven let cool for several minutes prior to serving.
