This is a quiche recipe that I tried last weekend. I found the original recipe at Simply Recipes, but I am posting the recipe with my modifications. My family loved it, so I'm sure I'll be making it again.
Crustless Cheesy Broccoli Quiche
1/2 stick of butter (1/4 cup)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cups milk
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard
5 eggs
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup frozen broccoli
1/4 cup chopped green onions (I didn't have, but we would like them, so I'll put them on next time.)
1/4 cup real bacon bits
6 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Stir in flour; cook, stirring until bubbly. Gradually add the milk; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens. Remove from the heat; set aside to cool, about 15-20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine cottage cheese, baking powder, salt and mustard; set aside.
Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add the cream cheese, the cottage cheese mixture and the milk/flour sauce. Fold in the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses.
Butter casserole dish. Put broccoli in bottom. Pour in egg mixture. Sprinkle the top with chopped green onions and crumbled bacon. Arrange tomato halves, cut side up, around the top. Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes, until puffy and lightly browned. A knife inserted into the center of the quiche should come out clean. Let rest for 15 minutes, serve.
Makes 8 servings.
