Spicy Broccoli Quiche

My gluten free Spicy Broccoli Quiche is such a versatile dish.  I make it for breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner.  Great for a Mother’s Day brunch… hint, hint!  You can serve it with soup, salad or sandwiches for a complete meal.  Mix up the seasonings and cheeses if you start to get bored (or are out of an ingredient).  It is nearly impossible to mess it up!

Make Ahead Option

This year I made it for our Break the Fast on Yom Kippur.  I put all of the ingredients together in a bowl in the fridge in the morning.  An hour before we were going to break the fast, I put the filling in the crust and popped it in the oven.  It was nice to have something warm and freshly baked to go along with the bagels and lox.  A day ahead I usually make Truffled Egg Salad and Tuna Salad with Capers and Dill so there isn’t much to actually “do” on Yom Kippur other than set everything out.

The Crust

Another thing that makes this Spicy Broccoli Quiche so easy, is that I use a pre-made gluten free crust.  It is the Whole Foods Gluten Free Bakehouse brand.  You can find it in the freezer section in a pack of two.  It is a large, deep crust that works very well with savory and sweet fillings. If you prefer a homemade crust, check out my Ham & Cheese Quiche with Hash Brown Crust. Also check out my Truffle Spinach Quiche. You can mix and match the crust and fillings any way you’d like.
