A simple, mouthwateringly delicious, G-free Bacon Broccoli And Feta Crustless Quiche made with bacon, lots of broccoli, fresh garlic, egg, mascarpone and feta cheese.
- 200 g shoulder bacon , sliced into thin strips
- 3 cloves garlic , finely chopped
- 1 small head broccoli , diced small
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp mixed herbs
- 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese
- 8 eggs
- 1/4 cup feta cheese , diced small
-
Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F) and grease quiche dish or a square baking dish with butter.
-
Fry the bacon until just cooked, then add the garlic, garlic powder and mixed herbs and fry for about 3 minutes.
-
Throw in the broccoli and fry for 4 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green, stirring often. Pour the bacon and broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish.
-
Whisk the eggs, then add the mascarpone and whisk to incorporate. Don’t worry if small lumps of mascarpone remain. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and broccoli, then arrange the feta cheese on top and bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until the quiche is golden and cooked through in the centre.
-
This quiche will serve 2- 3 as a main dish with a salad, or 6 - 9 as an additional dish in a buffet meal.
-
Make this into a vegetable quiche by leaving out the bacon and adding small cubes of pumpkin or butternut squash. Kale or spinach would work well too.
- You can use ham instead of bacon if you prefer…there would be no need to fry the ham, so fry the garlic in a little olive oil, then add the broccoli as above. Stir the ham strips into the broccoli and garlic mixture before spooning into the baking dish.
