Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook cauliflower or broccoli in salted water for 10 minutes. Drain and place in a greased pie pan.
- Sprinkle with chopped onion, chopped green pepper, and shredded Colby cheese.
- In a blender or food processor, combine milk, Bisquick, eggs, salt, and pepper; process for 15 to 20 seconds until well blended.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider substituting the cauliflower with broccoli or adding spinach for extra nutrition. You can use any cheese you have on hand, such as cheddar or mozzarella, instead of Colby. If you're short on time, pre-cut vegetables can save you prep time. For a gluten-free version, try using a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick.
Serving Suggestions
This Impossible Cauliflower Quiche is perfect for brunch and pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or a side of fruit. Consider serving it alongside a Vanilla-Maple Milkshake for a delightful meal. For a heartier option, serve with crusty bread or a light soup to create a balanced spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance. Simply assemble it and store it in the refrigerator. Bake it just before serving for the best texture and flavor. You may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it's chilled.
Can I freeze the quiche?
Yes, you can freeze the quiche before baking. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to bake, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight, then bake as directed. This makes for a convenient meal option later on.
What can I use instead of eggs?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, try using a flaxseed meal or chia seed mixture. Combine 1 tablespoon of either with 2.5 tablespoons of water, let it sit for a few minutes to thicken, and then incorporate it into your mixture. This works well for a vegan version.
