“Bacon” and Broccoli Quiche
Quiche is perfect party food. You can put in any kind of vegetables for filling, and it can be served warm or at room temperature. If you make this in an 8-inch square baking pan, you can cut it into squares for easier serving.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Step 2
Place a large saucepan with 1 inch of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the broccoli to the pan, cover, and cook for 4 minutes, or until tender. Drain the water. (Alternatively, if you have a microwave, place the broccoli in a microwave-safe container and add a little water. Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper and microwave on high heat for 5 minutes, or until tender.)
Step 3
Whisk together the eggs and evaporated milk in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese, broccoli, bacon bits, and salt.
Step 4
Press the piecrust into an ungreased 9-inch pie or tart pan. Using a fork, press the tines into the crust around the rim to make a simple pattern. Pour the egg mixture into the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until lightly browned and set in the center. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Cut into wedges or squares just prior to serving.

Step 5
Okay, this may seem obvious, but I’ll mention it anyway. Store-brand piecrusts are substantially cheaper than the name brands, and they’re usually just as good.
