MINI BROCCOLI RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Grease 8 cups in a 12-cup muffin tin and set aside. Pour 1 inch of water into a large saucepan and put in a steamer basket. Place broccoli in steamer basket, cover pot, turn heat to high and let cook until broccoli is just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Let broccoli cool slightly, then chop into small pieces.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, cream, eggs and egg yolks. Stir in cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add chopped broccoli.
• Put muffin tin on baking sheet, then ladle egg mixture into prepared muffin cups, filling each cup. Bake until lightly browned and no longer jiggly in center, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly, then run a knife around each quiche. Put a clean baking sheet on top of muffin pan and invert to unmold quiches. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 derees.
• Prepare muffin tins with cooking spray. I used larger muffin tins but size doesn't necessarily matter.
• Place 3 thick slices of bread in oven on the rack for about 4 minutes. Just long enough for the bread to get toasted. Upon removing bread from the oven, cut each piece of bread into 4 pieces. Place one piece of toasted bread in each tin.
• In a skillet, saute 2T. butter with onion until onion is soft and browned.
• In medium bowl, combine milk, eggs, dry mustard, and pepper; set aside.
• Layer cheese, broccoli and onion around the bread in the muffin tin. Pour egg mixture over bread, cheese, onion and broccoli.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
• Makes 6 large muffin tin quiche's.
