Chicken, broccoli florets, cheddar cheese and bacon baked in a savory custard over a flaky pastry crust.
A hearty, dinner-sized quiche that will comfort you from the inside out.
This is a great way to transform leftovers or a rotisserie chicken into something way more delicious. Tender bites of chicken and broccoli surrounded by eggs, heavy cream Parmesan and cheddar cheese plus crispy bacon plus a buttery crust?
All together better than the sum of its parts.
We’ve all heard the saying “real men don’t eat quiche”. I don’t know why or where the saying came from but if you top your quiche with crispy bacon there isn’t a man on earth capable of resisting.
I can almost guarantee it.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet and saute the onion and garlic until tender seasoning well with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl mix the chicken, broccoli, both cheeses and onion/garlic together. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Fit a 9-inch deep dish pie dish with the pastry crust. Add the filling and spread out evenly.
- Whisk the eggs, heavy cream and milk together. Slowly pour over the filling. Use a spoon to make sure the filling and egg mixture is distributed evenly. Place the bacon slices over top and push them down gently into the filling.
- Bake 50 - 60 minutes until center is set and top is lightly golden. If the crust begins to darken too much place aluminum foil loosely over the top.
- Allow to cool and set 10 minutes before slicing.

I’ve had omelets with broccoli but not a quiche although it sounds delicious! My hubby would love it with the bacon on top!
Moon, we hope you’re staying warm! Wish we could come cuddle with you! Purrs, Angel & Isabella

Love how you did the bacon on top so it gets and stays really crispy!

This looks awesome. I love broccoli in here – you don’t see eggs and broccoli together that often, but they are delicious together (especially with bacon). My husband would no doubt love this quiche!
