This Broccoli Cheese Quiche with Bacon is a scrumptious twist on a classic quiche baked in a pie crust. It's packed with broccoli florets, bacon and lots of cheddar cheese. This recipe uses biscuit mix in the filling stabilizes the egg custard giving it a smooth and delicious texture that the family will love at any meal.
Cheesy Broccoli Quiche is an Any Time of Day Meal
No Special Ingredients Needed for Broccoli Quiche
As you look over the ingredient list you'll see most of the items are staple pantry items and if you don't have a particular ingredient, no worries, they're easy to find in any grocery store.
- If you'd like to give this quiche a kick, use pepper jack cheese in place of the cheddar.
- This quiche can be baked in advance and then warmed just before serving.
- If you prefer, you can use diced ham in place of the bacon.
- I used Bisquick in this recipe.
- While I make this quiche in a springform tart pan, a deep dish pie pan or a similar size oven safe skillet would also work. Just make certain it is indeed deep.
When Can this Quiche be Served?
When it comes to these sorts of savory pies, in my opinion, there's no wrong time of day to serve them. Quiche can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch or supper. Add a fruit medley or a crisp salad, and it's meal-time in no-time.

Love this recipe. I use it all the time. I have been known to substitute some ingredients. But it’s great!! I was looking for calories, fat, sodium and cholesterol numbers per slice.

And... could I bake this in an 8x8 quart dish?
Melissa
Yes, you can do that, also.
CaliGal
Could you make this the night before? Leave the raw ingredients in the pan & refrigerate. Bring the pan out of the fridge in the morning. Let the dish come to room temperature over two hours. Then bake in the oven?
thank you!
Melissa
Yes, you can. It likely won't take 2 hours, more like 20-30 minutes.

Hello, I'm from Perú and I don't think there's a bisquick mix here, Could you please tell me how to make one with regular ingredients? Nothing premade or ready to use works for me 🙁
Thank you in advance 🙂

Melissa

You can use any plain pancake mix in place of the Bisquick.
Barbara Lansing
I made this and it was delicious! Used a lot of pots but totally worth it!,
Cathy
Anyone have trouble with this sticking to the pan? I have tried the cooking spray as well as grease (butter) and flour but it still sticks. Any suggestions.
Melissa
Cathy, I haven't had that issue, are you using a homemade crust or a quality pre-made? I highly recommend Mrs Smiths if you're using a premade. Otherwise just make sure you're spraying the pan liberally.
cathy
I was under the impression that there wasn't a crust with this quiche. I find that when I make this it is really hard to get it out of the pan and it is a real pain to clean the pan afterwards. I will spray it more liberally next time.
Melissa
Cathy, my apologies I have another quiche similar to this that has a crust here on my website and had that one in mind when I answered. Again, I've never had an issue with this quiche sticking.
cathy ruiter
No problem. Thanks for responding so quickly. I will try more spray, 🙂
Sharon Ann
I cut a circle of waxed paper and put it in the pan.Spray the pan first. Then re-spray the waxed paper. No stickibg! I use this method for cakes etc. Good luck.
Lois
Love quiche, this looks delish. Need to try w/bisquick. I've had spinach/bacon/onion which is good too
Paula
Do you have nutritional content on this?
Melissa
You'll need to use an online calculator of your choice should you want those values.
Pat Wendelborg
Can this quiche be frozen and if so is it better to freeze before being baked or after?
Melissa
This quiche is best when made and served at the same time. That said, you can freeze after baking. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Joan Anderson
This sounds delicious! I will definitely make this soon!

What is half and half as well as what are the ingredients of Biscuit mix? We don't get either of these in South Africa so what must I use to substitute?
Best wishes

Melissa
Half & half is half whole milk and half heavy cream. I'm not certain if there's a substitute for the Bisquick that I can recommend in SA.
