Our Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche recipe is so simple to make with eggs, bacon, and veggies inside a flaky homemade pie crust. It's one of my favorite savory brunch recipes.
Broccoli Cheddar Quiche is always the star of brunch.
Broccoli Cheddar Quiche is always the star of brunch.The flavor combination in this broccoli cheese quiche is truly crave-worthy and the best part is it uses staple ingredients most of us always have on hand; eggs, milk, cheese, and veggies. And let's be honest, I usually have a homemade pie crust in my freezer, making this meal truly effortless.

I’m making the Quiche , now. I use ground turkey and cauliflower and everything else. Can’t wait to tase. Thanks Beverly
Sounds delicious! I’d love to hear how it turned out!
So good!! Turkey bacon tastes great too!
My first recipe review ever! Haha! I tried this Quiche today & it’s AWESOME! Thanks for sharing your recipe. I dislike when people rate a recipe that they 80% revisesd, although I do like to see suggestions. I used frozen broccoli florets since I didn’t have fresh, & I used a crust I had in the freezer. Basically I made this recipe, only made slight additions: We love cheese so I added some Colby Jack & a dash of garlic salt. The recipe was simple, yet it turned out beautifully. I’ll definitely make this again, & will try your pie crust recipe next time. I’m new to this, so how do I find your past & future recipes? I’d love to try more. I took a pic of my Quiche but Im not sure how to share it.
Thanks so much for commenting! I’m flattered I am your first 😉 . So happy you enjoyed the quiche, and I really hope you get to try more of my recipes!

5 stars. My daughter loved this.
Hi Lauren,
I LOVE this quiche!! I’ve made it a couple times already, but I’m making a couple now as a substitute for the store bought one my mom always heats up on Christmas morning. The best Christmas presents are those with lots of love, and what has more love that healthy, delicious, homemade food? Anyway, I’m making it ahead and spotted your note about freezing them. When you heat them up again do you thaw/ bake them in the original pan, or is the crust usually sturdy enough to thaw and bake the second go round on it’s own?
Thanks very much, your blog is wonderful!!
Hi Erin, thanks so much for your nice comment! I’m so happy you love this recipe as much as I do!!
You should be just fine to thaw them in the fridge overnight and then bake in the original pan, at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes. If you see the crust getting too browned just place tinfoil over it. Hope that helps!
Omg your crust recipe in this amazing!!! This entire dish was amazing and i am so glad I found your wesite. I will be making this more often!
Thank you so much! I am so happy you found me! Thanks for coming back to comment 🙂
Lauren–I made this for my family for a special Saturday brunch. It was fantastic! The quiche was a huge hit, and I made a second one with my other crust for the freezer. Thank you for this recipe!
Thanks so much for sharing! I’m happy you liked it so much!!
Lauren, I love any kind of quiche, but broccoli and cheese is just one of those classic flavor combinations inside our outside a pie crust. Like you, I’m crazy about pie crust!
Yay for the happy news about baby #3! And glad you’re feeling better. I’m excited to try this recipe!
So happy for you and your family, congratulations. hugggggg

Adding cheddar cheese killing the milky flavor of Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese. In place of cheddar cheese add fresh ricotta cheese. So many milk products giving you protein why need eggs again.
