Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter quiche, consider using a reduced-fat cream or substituting half of the heavy cream with additional chicken broth. If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made pie crust. To enhance flavor, sauté the broccoli with garlic before adding it to the crust. This dish is versatile, so feel free to include other ingredients like diced ham or cooked mushrooms.
