Individual Broccoli and Cheddar Crustless Quiches

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cups milk
• 0.25 cups half and half
• 0.25 cups broccoli florets, cooked and chopped
• 0.25 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 pinch salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Steam or sauté the broccoli florets until tender, then chop them finely.
3. Whisk the egg, milk, and half-and-half together in a small bowl until well combined.
4. Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Grease a small ramekin with butter or cooking spray.
6. Place the chopped broccoli into the bottom of the ramekin and sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and cheese.
8. Place the ramekin into a small baking dish and fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekin to create a water bath.
9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
10. Remove carefully from the water bath and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Using a water bath (bain-marie) ensures the eggs cook gently and remain silky rather than rubbery. Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or dried mustard to the egg mixture for extra depth of flavor.
