Broccoli-Cheese Pie

Delicious! We make this on the weekend and eat it leftover for breakfast during the week. We use reduced fat mexican cheese and skim milk to cut down some on the calories; we also cut it into 8 wedges instead of six, which is still a generous portion. We also add smoked paprika to the onion/ham mixture. Pros: Reheats well

Good basic recipe/be careful of substitutions!! We eat too much in this country...even our animals are 10-20 pounds overweight :) To make this recipe a winner start with a generous vegetable salad, no small side salad and instead of high fat prepackaged dressing, mix a table spoon or two at the most with vinegar of your choice and dried herbs. Then eat your portion of quiche. The low fat/highly satisfying cheeses are goat, mozarella, feta, and swiss, but again, look at the amount that you are putting into the recipe because it will send the calorie count way up if you put in too much. Gouda, cheddar and havarti are delicious, but they are super high in calories and fat, so the readers who are adding those cheeses are sabotaging the recipe. And adding any type of processed meat whether it is beef, turkey or pork is bad, bad, bad. Add a little precooked shredded chicken or turkey breast. As for the bland taste, that is what your spices are for! ANy type of hot spice will rev up your metabolism and add great flavor!

Good Meal I liked this. I used ham, cheese and broccoli (frozen) and omitted the breadcrumbs. It tasted great and was filling. Much easier than traditional quiche with crust! Pros: easy, quick prep, uses veggies Cons: long cooking time if you are in a hurry

Nice Idea I made this recipe into 12 large muffins rather than a pie. It makes for one generous "muffin" size...2 would be a total serving. I followed directions except used turkey bacon and cheddar cheese and I think they turned out tasty. My husband liked them...which speaks a lot. My kids are always skeptical of anything with veggies, but ate them for dinner without much complaint. No wows though. Pros: Easy, most items already have in fridge Cons: strong broccoli flavor lost favor with kids

This was fantastic. I agree with the first reviewer that it's a good base. I didn't have Canadian bacon or mozzarella, so I used deli ham and gouda, which turned out great.

This was excellent. I made it with eggs from a local farm, and I can't wait to make it when all of the ingredients are available from local sources.
