My second entry into the broccoli quiche category...this one is from Vegetarian Pleasures. Breadcrumbs in recipes always confuse me, I'm not sure what I'm being asked for. In this one, you want to make a slice or two of toast, let it (them) cool, and give a buzz in the food processer. This can be made up to 8 hours in advance-cover and chill the crust and filling separtely. Have not done that, so I could only guess how you might need to adjust the baking time; maybe another 15 minutes? I don't know why it's called crustless, it has a crust, just a thin one. Anyway, it's yummy. I've had no problem using lowfat/non-fat milk and cottage cheese. I never use the cayenne pepper, because Mr. B. does not like even a touch of heat, so I don't know how that tastes in there. Hope you enjoy!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup breadcrumbs, preferably whole wheat
1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
1/4 cup milk
1 cup monterey jack cheese, cubed
3 eggs, well beaten
2 cups broccoli, chopped and cooked
1/4 teaspoon basil
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Generously butter 9 inch pie pan or quiche pan.
3
Mix the parmesan cheese and bread crumbs together and pat on the bottom and sides of the dish-this will form the crust.
4
Mix the cottage cheese, milk, Monterey Jack and eggs together well, then stir in the remaining ingredients (except the butter). Pour into the pie crust and smooth over the top, then dot with butter.
5
Bake for 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out almost clean. Serve immediately.

I used whole wheat bread that had been dried for breadcrumbs and blended it in my immersion blender. Added some dried onion to the crust, used 2 eggs. Great for using cooked broccoli stems! My DH and I liked this, the kids didn't. It did have a little bit of a tangy flavor, which may have been from the cottage cheese. This may also work well with ricotta. I'll have to try that.

OMG - I could have eaten the whole thing! It had wonderful flavor and texture...just fabulous! I do have to admit - I added veggies. It was only me for dinner and I had leftovers! It just goes to show that this recipe can include anything! I added some sauteed carrots, leaks and cabbage to my broccoli and added in some pepper jack per a previous review. Thanks B for a loverly dinner! Cheri

Yum! Absolutely loved this! Would be wonderful for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Used 4 oz. cubed pepper jack, cause that's what was in the fridge, and omitted the cayenne. Used lowfat cottage cheese and 1% milk. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Very tasty recipe - Will make again! I used raw broccoli, lite Havarti cheese no butter at the end and added 3/.4 tsp of cayenne plus Hot chili sauce when serving. I placed the broccoli on top of the crumb mixture in the pie plate along with the cubed cheese, cayenne & basil - Set it aside, mixed the egg, milk & cottage cheese, kept it in the fridge until bake time The bake time was perfect 40 minutes then added the chili sauce on top and enjoyed my dinner. Thanks for posting this delish recipe
