Crustless Mini Broccoli Quiche
Don’t they just look nice and appetizing? Good news is they are quick and easy to make and really healthy too!
I usually make these when Armin is having his diet. Even in Phase 1 of South Beach diet, as broccoli is one of the vegetables allowed in this phase since it has low Glycemic index. It is a perfect side for any meat like chicken, pork or beef but I am pretty sure they would also make wonderful appetizers.
We both like our broccoli only half-cooked, that way it is still crisp and not soggy or mushy. So making them in these crustless mini broccoli Quiche is just perfect.
I also added some feta cheese on top that melted nicely while it was baking and then bacon, but they are still good even without. I do not think you could go wrong with this recipe anyway and did I say how easy it was to make? Yep, definitely one of my fave; quick, easy and delicious!
I usually use my silicone cupcake molds for making them because I find it easier and you can also serve them in it but any muffin pans or molds would also do great.
