Chicken, Broccoli, Cheddar & Bacon Quiche

May 18, 2017 by Reeni 8 Comments

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.

Broccoli, Chicken & Bacon Quiche

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.

Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: American

Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 60 mins
Total time: 1 hour 20 mins
Serves: 1 (9-inch) quiche
Chicken, broccoli florets, cheddar cheese and bacon baked in a savory custard over a flaky pastry crust.
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • coarse salt and fresh black pepper
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, cut in bite-size pieces or shredded
  • 2 cups cooked broccoli florets, cut in bite-size pieces
  • 1 + ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pastry crust (I like this one)
  • 4 eggs
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 3-4 slices bacon, cooked but not crispy
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Melt the butter in a small skillet and saute the onion and garlic until tender seasoning well with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large bowl mix the chicken, broccoli, both cheeses and onion/garlic together. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Fit a 9-inch deep dish pie dish with the pastry crust. Add the filling and spread out evenly.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Allow to cool and set 10 minutes before slicing.

    I’ve made this recipe a few times: it looks and tastes great! I usually use deep dish pie crust, and seem to end up with enough filling for 2 quiches. I forgot about that when I made it at Christmas–I had doubled the recipe and had a TON of leftover filling. Which is luckily very tasty on its own.

    What an awesome combination. All my favorites in one dish. I had to go in search of where the phrase real men don’t eat quiche came from. I didn’t realize it was a book

    This looks delicious. I have never had eggs with chicken together in a dish like this. I am going to have to try this one.
