Honey's Broccoli Quiche: Delicious, Easy, Low Fat
"This scrumptious, healthy broccoli quiche is quick, ridiculously easy, and oh-so-yummy! My grandmother made this quiche frequently to feed her five children!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
I put the package of frozen broccoli in the microwave for four minutes to thaw. Then, I drain it in a strainer and it's ready to be mixed in with everything else."

Hi! This looks great and is currently in my oven, so I'll add stars after trying. I subbed 1/2 a cornbread recipe for the crust and poultry seasoning for the cumin and nutmeg.<br/><br/>There are 2 discrepancies which I have noticed:<br/>1. What flour? Step 5 calls for adding flour which is not in the ingredient list.<br/>2. When do we add the onions? With the broccoli? (I actually cooked them but missed adding them, so will try it next time.)<br/><br/>Looks like a great recipe, just needs some editing!<br/><br/>Thank you!<br/>Trish<br/><br/>Tried it! Delicious!!! Five Stars!!! -
