Yes, definitely! However, the frozen broccoli can release some excess water as it’s cooked. It’s just important to drain it well so the quiche isn’t soggy.
To prevent a watery quiche, make sure that your ingredients aren’t overly wet, such as if you’re using frozen broccoli instead of fresh. Also, make sure that you accurately measure the liquid ingredients.
Absolutely! I like to make this quiche on a Monday and use it as my lunch for the rest of the week.
Yes, this is a low-carb recipe. Making the quiche without a crust really helps keep the carbs down. It’s not free of carbs though due to the coconut milk.
