CATALINA'S YUMMY BROCCOLI, ARTICHOKE & CHEDDAR QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease or spray a deep dish pie plate or small casserole dish.
• Fry onion in oil till soft, then add broccoli. Stir fry till cooked. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, with an electric beater, beat together the egg whites and whole eggs in a large bowl till frothy.
• Add the yogurt and spices. Beat some more till well mixed.
• Add the vegetables and the cheese to the eggs. Stir everything together and pour into the pie plate or dish. (You can also pour it into a prepared pie crust if you want).
• Bake for 50-60 minutes. You'll know it's cooked because it will puff up.
• Once cooked, let it sit for 20 minutes at room temperature before serving. (it tastes better if it sits even longer, ie. 1-2 hours. You can also make it in the morning, let it sit, then reheat for the evening. It doesn't need to be served super hot, just warm).
• You can play around A LOT with this recipe. For example:
• Use cream cheese instead of yogurt, or a bit of both.
• Change the vegetables & cheese to:
• -spinach, red onions, & feta,
• -potatoes, red peppers, onions, & parmesan (use ½ cup only) & rosemary (goes sooo great with the potatoes)
• -roasted red peppers, onions, brie (freeze the brie first, then you can shred it without it falling apart)
• -mushrooms, asparagus, onions, swiss cheese.
• -red & white onions, green onions, any cheese you have.

CRUSTLESS BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR QUICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter four 8-ounce ramekins (or a 9-inch pie dish); set aside. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook 1 minute. Drain well; transfer to a cutting board, and blot dry with paper towels. Chop coarsely.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in broccoli and cheese.
• Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Ladle broccoli mixture into ramekins, dividing evenly. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with crusty bread and a mixed-green salad, if desired.
