What goes into the recipe
don't forget to scroll to the recipe card for ingredient amounts and full method
- eggs- I buy free range eggs- up to you, but in something like this where they are such an important part, the quality of the eggs you use is important.
- bacon- do not cook this before you put it into the quiches!
- cheese- tasty or cheddar works well in this recipe
- broccoli- I used ¾ of a head of broccoli- it really depends on the size of your broccoli, but the key here is to pack the broccoli into the cup measure as much as possible.

Expert Tips and FAQs
Not before it goes into the crustless quiches, no! And why not? Because in the quiches the bacon ends up cooked. Cook it before hand and the bacon ends up a crunchy hard lump when cooked again.
Feel free to switch out the broccoli for another veg of your choosing if your kids won't eat it.
Yes! They freeze well- on a tray until solid, then transfer to a container when solid.
