Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Butter, for ramekins Coarse salt and ground pepper 1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli florets 6 large eggs 1/2 cup half-and-half 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (3 ounces) Crusty bread and mixed salad (optional)

Directions

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.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3.0 stars       02/19/2020   The texture of this was very disappointing, mealy, and not at all creamy. The taste was okay, but pretty bland.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5.0 stars       12/24/2019   so quick and easy - didn't even have to make a special trip to the store.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       04/17/2017   I make this as one dish and have made it several times. So quick and easy - my family and I love this!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/25/2014   I made this broccoli cheddar crustless quiche for guests for brunch today. I steamed fresh broccoli in the microwave and from there the whole thing came together in a couple of minutes. Rave reviews...I made it in a pie plate and only left in oven until eggs were set, just under 30 minutes. I will try with other vegetable and cheese varieties in the future.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/22/2014   Sooo yummy! I threw this together for dinner one night (in 5 mins!) and could not have been more impressed. Instead of boiling the broccoli I bought the kind in a steamer bag and cooked it in the microwave (I reduced the time by about a minute). I also subbed skim milk for the half and half and used reduced fat cheddar. I served it with an arugula salad and bread. I'll definitely be making the regularly! You could absolutely substitute whatever cheese and veggies you have on hand.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       02/05/2014   I found this recipe on Pinterest. My youngest is a semi-vegetarian eater and loves broccoli. Quite honestly, when I clicked the link to the recipe and found it on this site, I was taken aback. "This is going to have 15 ingredients and take 3 hours to make" I characterized, before reading the recipe through. NOPE. It was simple and easy and has become a regular *and* favorite entrée in our regular menu options. We don't do the ramekins - I use a pie pan and it comes out perfect.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/28/2014   I liked this idea of a crustless quiche (I live in France so quiche are ubiquitous) but 6 eggs...wow. I used this recipe as a template but followed the rule for making quiches where I live: 3 eggs with 1/2 cup of dairy for every egg. For the dairy I used 1 cup of skim milk and 1/2 cup of cream. Everything else was as the recipe. It came out great, the custard was set and I served with turkey filets. I loved it but my son and husband missed the crust. I'll make it again, next time for brunch.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/27/2013   I subbed full fat coconut milk, no cheese, and added spinach and prosciutto - gluten and dairy free! It came out perfect - served with a simple salad and the boys loved it.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/07/2013   This is my go-to quiche recipe. I've made it with broc. and cheese and bacon, tomatoes and cheese - both are fantastic. I've also used regular milk instead of 1/2 and 1/2 and it turned out perfectly.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/24/2011   edithloc, half & half , its half cream, and half milk. you can find it in walmart or any supermarket, in walmart tha brand you will find, among others is Lyncott, wich is very good , by the way. The tip for buy the half & half , is if you live in mexico., because in USA, you´ll find it everywhere!! =)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/24/2011   EDITHLOC... 1/2 & 1/2 is cream, also called 10% cream...if you can't find it, almost any cream will do.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/16/2011   This recipe is delicious! I used fat free half and half to cut some fat out of the recipe and prepared the rest of the recipe the way it called for. I did make it in a pyrex pie dish because I don't have any ramekins and it worked out great! (It may need to be cooked a little longer than it asked for.)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/25/2011   I made this for dinner tonite and thought it was delicious. I used 1% milk instead of half and half, and sprayed the pie plate with non stick spray. Being flexible and creative, and using what you have will help to meet your needs, both healthwise and financially.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/23/2011   I have a recipe similar to this out of the Bisquick cookbook; leftover ham gives it a bit more flavor. I would also like nutrition information, but I think we may have to find another way to communicate our request, as I don't believe Martha's staff reads our comments. Perhaps we could try to reach either her food editor for the magazine or the editor of Everyday Foods.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/22/2011   calculating it all up I come up with approximately 256.25 caliories per serving if using regular ingredients...if using lower fat cheese and fat-free half and half it's approximately 217.50 calories per serving.

In addition to the recipe, could you please include the nutritional information for the recipe, including things like Calories per portion, Carbohydrates (for diabetics and others....), Fat, etc., etc.... It would be very useful information for those of us who must consider such things as part of a normal diet.
