Ingredients

    1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
    1/2 large onion, diced
    2 CUPS broccoli florets, cut into 1-inch pieces
    4 large eggs
    1 CUP milk
    1/3 CUP cheese, grated
    1/2 TSP sea salt or to taste
    Freshly ground black pepper
    1/2 TSP dried oregano
    1/4 CUP brown rice flour (or whole wheat)
    Dash of paprika

Tips

I used 2% milk (it was all I had), so you switch to a low-fat milk to decrease fat content. As for cheese, the original recipe calls for grated, Pecorino Romano, but really any cheese will do. I went with part skim, low-moisture shredded mozzarella and it was delicious!


Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a nine-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, stirring frequently (about three minutes). Add broccoli and cook about five minutes or until just tender. Add veggies to baking dish when finished.

Combine eggs, milk, cheese, salt, pepper and oregano in a large bowl. Whisk in flour. Pour mixture evenly over veggies. Sprinkle paprika on top and bake until set, about 35 minutes. Cool quiche for ten minutes before serving. Enjoy!
