Broccoli Onion Swiss Quiche

CarbsPerServing:30 total recipe
Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
3 cups chopped broccoli -- cooked, drained, cooling 1/2 cup chopped onion -- favorite color 3 tablespoons butter -- (or less)
1 1/2 tablespoons soy flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
pepper and nutmeg to taste (pinch)3 eggs 1/2 cup heavy cream
with enough water to equal 2/3 cup liquid 4 slices cooked bacon -- crumbled or cut in small pieces
2 ounces shredded swiss cheese

How to Prepare:
9" pie plate sprayed with non-stick spray
375 degrees, 25 minutes

1. Set aside cooked broccoli
2. Saute onions gently in butter, when tender add soy flour and cook a
couple more minutes.
3. Whisk together eggs, cream & water. Blend in salt and spices.
4. Combine egg mix, prepared vegetables and cheese.
5. Pour into prepared pie plate.
6. Bake until puffed and browned.

Personal notes: Next time I will increase the 2 oz cheese to 4 oz because I
want the swiss flavor more pronounced. Also I think this would make a great
appetizer if baked in a 7 x 11" chilled and cut into small squares, served
cold or reheated. Very pretty if topped with small strips of pimento or red
bell pepper laced through a slice of black olive?
