If you want to make a brunch to please the masses, look to quiche. Not only is it a common favourite, but it’s also a one-dish meal, meaning that the prep time and cook time – is much less. In fact, making a quiche takes me less time than making a full-on bacon, eggs and hash brown breakfast.
Yep, one-dishers are most welcome in my household, right down to the ease of doing the dishes. This recipe for Spinach and Broccoli Quiche is good for you, and tastes great.
It’s one of those meals that is so healthy, but you don’t realize it sine it’s so good. Sometimes it’s hard to sneak veggies into a breakfast, there aren’t a lot of veggie options out there. This is my go-to for more than a full serving of vegetables in one slice!
I like to serve my Spinach and Broccoli Quiche with fresh tomato slices too, it’s an addition that completes the package.
Another beauty of this recipe is that this quiche makes a good leftover too, it’ll stay good in the fridge for a few days. They are a beauty for those rushed mornings, when a great dose of protein is needed. That is, if there is leftovers though …

My Dh thinks Quiche is a poor excuse for food. Do you think if I put some mushrooms on top and called it a frittata he would go for it?
It looks really good, cheese and eggs, what’s not to love?
