This pie is very popular in France and belongs to French cuisine. But the French borrowed the quiche's recipe from the Germans of Lorraine.

Bon Appetit!

In German, the name of the open tart sounds like "kuchen", which means "pie". Despite its origin, the dish belongs to French cuisine. It is made from chopped puff pastry filled with eggs, milk or cream, with the obligatory addition of hard cheese (originally Gruyere). There are many options for filling for such a cake. In our article, we will tell you how to cook quiche with broccoli and cheese. We will present three pie recipes at once to choose from: traditional, with frozen cabbage and with feta.

The history of the appearance of the famous pie

It may seem strange to many that the name of a traditional French dish has German roots. But the history of this cake is no less amazing. The quiche was first prepared in the French province of Lorraine, bordering Germany. Thrifty Germans did not throw away the leftover yeast bread dough, but used it as the basis for the filling of scraps of meat, bacon, sausage and vegetables, filling it with beaten eggs on top. After baking in the oven, the exit turned out to be a delicious and satisfying pie.

The French accidentally spied on the recipe, improved it by replacing the yeast dough with shortbread, added a lot of cheese and baked the Lauren quiche, which received the same name as the province where it was first prepared. Traditionally it was made from smoked brisket. Later, they came up with other different fillings for the quiche pie: with onions, fish, mushrooms. Today they are prepared not only in France, but all over the world.

Fillings for quiche pie

Do you want to diversify your home menu? Then make a quiche pie with different fillings. For example, German housewives initially put in it everything that remained in the refrigerator or on the table after the previous meal.

Quiche with chicken and mushrooms is very tasty. Instead of poultry, you can put ham and onions in the same pie. An unusual combination of onions and sour cream as a filling is a French quiche. For a special aroma, grated nutmeg is traditionally added to it. But the Italian version of the filling involves the use of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. You can put green beans, zucchini, green peas, spinach, cherry tomatoes and broccoli in the quiche. And you shouldn't be limited only to hard cheese. Mozzarella, goat cheese, roquefort, brie, blue cheese will do. And how delicious the quiche with salmon or anchovies is!

Eggs and milk are traditionally used as filling. But here, too, there is a whole field for experimentation. The pie can be poured with cream, fatty sour cream mixed with spicy cheese, seasoned with nutmeg or mustard. And each time it will be a completely different cake with a new unique taste. But you just need to remember about an important rule - no more than 120 ml of cream or milk should be taken for 1 egg. Otherwise, the filling will flow out of the mold.

How to make broccoli and cheese quiche: ingredients

Pie stuffed with vegetables is considered one of the easiest to make. Even a beginner can master this simple recipe.

The broccoli and cheese quiche is traditionally made from chopped dough that resembles shortbread in taste and texture. It is mixed with the following ingredients:

• butter - 90 g;
• egg - 1 pc.;
• flour - 2 tbsp.;
• salt - ¼ tsp

To prepare the filling, you will need the following set of products:

• broccoli - 400 g;
• onion 1 pc .;
• olive oil - 3 tbsp l .;
• egg - 3 pcs.;
• Gruyere or Cheddar cheese - 100 g;
• milk - 100 ml.

The quiche is cooked in a round shape with low walls.

Pie dough

This extraordinarily tasty quiche is perfect for a festive lunch or dinner. In this version of the filling, broccoli is lightly fried in olive oil along with onions. Also, cabbage can be used raw, which is considered more beneficial. You can also pre-boil broccoli in salted water for two minutes, then transfer the inflorescences to cold water.

So, the dough for quiche with cheese and broccoli is prepared in the following sequence:

1. Grate cold butter or chop with a knife.
2. Mix it with sifted flour and salt. Rub the ingredients with your hands until an oil crumb forms.
3. Beat the egg with a fork. Add it to the crumb.
4. Knead an elastic dough. Form a ball out of it, wrap it in foil and send it to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

The dough is ready. It can be prepared in advance, frozen, and put on the refrigerator shelf before use until it is completely thawed.

Features of the preparation of the filling

While the dough is cooling in the fridge, it's time to start filling the pie. Fresh cabbage, green and firm, with no external imperfections, works best. It should be disassembled into small inflorescences, cutting off the rough part of the fork with a knife.

In general, the filling for the broccoli and cheese quiche is prepared as follows:

1. Chop a small red onion with a knife.
2. Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion on it until transparent for 5 minutes.
3. Place broccoli in a skillet. Cook with onions for exactly 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove skillet from heat.
4. Grate the cheese on a fine grater.
5. Prepare the dressing. To do this, beat the eggs with a hand whisk until smooth. Add milk and 50 g of grated cheese. Stir the ingredients together. The filling is ready.
6. When the broccoli filling has cooled down, you can proceed to the next stage of cooking.

Shaping the cake and baking in the oven

Any round shape is suitable for making a pie. If it has a non-stick coating, it can be used immediately for its intended purpose. Molds made of other materials should be greased with softened butter.

This stage of cooking quiche can be represented as follows:

1. Preheat the oven to a temperature of 190 °.
2. Put the cooled dough in a mold and distribute it along the bottom and sides, forming high sides.
3. Put broccoli on the dough. Spread the filling evenly over the surface.
4. Pour the egg, milk and cheese dressing over the cabbage. Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top.
5. Send the form with the dough and filling to the oven.
6. Cooking time for quiche with cheese and broccoli is 30-35 minutes. The pie can be considered ready when the edges of the dough are browned and an appetizing cheese crust forms on top.

The quiche should be removed from the mold only when it has cooled down almost completely. The pie is especially tasty when cold, so it can be prepared in advance. It can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

An excellent option "for the second". Something new, not boring, not too solid, but the products are familiar, and even so many benefits are unlikely to be stuffed into any other dish. In general, the most that neither is children's food, and these children are happy to take part in the preparation, well, and try it on the sly. For example, like this.

Or imagine: this little man has just cut down a tree! Now he will cut.

When it is cut, we throw the inflorescences into boiling salted water and cook for 5 minutes.

The finished cabbage must be thrown on a sieve and allowed to drain off the water.

For the base of the tart, we will make a puff of chopped dough - 200 g of flour and 100 g of butter (again I advise salty!) Chop into crumbs and knead with an egg with the addition of a couple of tablespoons of ice water. Roll out, lay out the 23cm form, cool. Then add the load and bake for 15 minutes at 200C.

While baking - cut the boiled chicken breast into pieces, grate cheese (75 grams), I took oltermani, my children eat it with pleasure. Shake two eggs in a bowl, add salt and ground pepper.

Pour in 200g of cream and stir.

Remove the load from the crust, bake for another 10 minutes, and then put half of the cheese, chicken, cabbage and a couple of sweet tomatoes on it.

Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and pour in the filling.

Furnace at 180C for 20 minutes.

And then ... in short, I didn't have time to bake for a long time (it would have taken 45 minutes), and I just took out the pie from the metal mold, put it on a plate and in the microwave at full power it took two minutes to bake. Like this!

It turned out not worse than from the oven, but 10 times faster.
You can do it the other way around - first bake in the microwave, and then put it under the grill for browning.

Only a few times (always in a cafe: with spinach, with fish, with leeks) and for some reason I never thought that it was not difficult to cook it at home. And finally I decided - my first quiche with broccoli and chicken.

If you have never tried this masterpiece, then with a high degree of confidence I can assume that you will like it. Kish - he is like that, you can't help but like him :)

First, the quiche is delicious! Thin shortcrust pastry and lots and lots of filling. Moreover, it can be anything: chicken or fish, spinach, broccoli, cottage cheese, green beans, onions, sorrel; in a word, any vegetables and, of course, eggs and cheese, which are poured into a thick layer of filling.

My quiche with broccoli and chicken is not simple, it is, you guessed it, "correct": from chickpea flour (in the base), moreover, without oil. Do not be afraid that the quiche is dietary, because, believe me, it only tastes better :)

And I also like the French quiche pie because simple ingredients make a completely full-fledged main dish, beautiful, tasty, satisfying, it is not a shame to present it to guests - the "wow-effect" is guaranteed!

And one last thing: the dietary quiche with broccoli and chicken is good for both lunch ... and even dinner.

Quiche with broccoli and chicken: recipe

Ingredients for the dough (for a mold 22-24 cm):

• chickpea flour * - 200-220 g;
• 1 egg;
• cottage cheese - 100 g;
• salt - a pinch.

* You can use 50:50 with whole wheat grains if you like.

Preparation:

Cooking the dough... Beat the cottage cheese with egg well in a blender until smooth. Add flour, salt, knead the dough (with a spoon, spatula or using the special mixer attachment).

At first, the dough may seem a little sticky, but after a couple of minutes the flour will take all the excess moisture and swell, the dough will become the desired consistency. Roll it out on a floured surface, gently transfer it into the mold (or, alternatively, you can “roll out” the dough right in the mold, spreading it out with your fingers, as you prefer).

Make the sides of the dough (higher), the extra pieces can be carefully trimmed.

Place the baking dish in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 7-10 minutes, so that it brown a little. Take out the form (until you need it).

Cooking the filling. Cut the chicken into small pieces and simmer (10-15 minutes). You can also use a ready-made fillet - then just chop it, at your discretion.

Boil broccoli for 5-7 minutes in salted water.

Beat cottage cheese, a pinch of salt and 1 egg with a blender until smooth. If desired, you can add fresh herbs to the curd mass.

Put the mass of cottage cheese on a dough base, on it - chicken pieces, top layer - broccoli. Shuffle the layers a little right in the mold.

Beat 2 eggs (you can add literally a little milk to them) and grated cheese, add salt and your favorite spices to taste. Pour the quiche with this mixture and put in the oven for 20-30 minutes at 180-200 degrees.

Before you get the quiche, you can sprinkle a little cheese on it and let it brown for a couple of minutes.

The broccoli and chicken quiche is ready!

Wait until it cools down and only then remove it from the mold.
