Vegetarian Roasted Broccoli Cheddar Quiche brings the flavors of broccoli and cheese soup in this family friendly quiche.
Even though it’s been a difficult one, I have a lot to be grateful for this year.
Most recently with our dog Daisy’s biopsy coming back as infection and not cancer.
Found that out this morning.
So relieved to hear that.
Since we take in dogs with bad hearts I guess I just always assume that is the way they will go when their time has come.
Never really think about all the other stuff that can happen too.
We are still trying to figure out how she could have gotten it in the location she did.
But my dogs are talented at doing illogical things. 🙂
I’m not cooking this year for American Thanksgiving.
In the past I have always cooked Thanksgiving (Canadian) and gone out to eat on American Thanksgiving.
This year I didn’t even cook Canadian Thanksgiving.
I have a dental procedure tomorrow and I get sedated for that.
So that would mean all the cooking would have had to happen the day of and that just seemed too stressful.
Chinese food it is. 🙂
I will make the dogs a little something special to eat.
And knowing me I’ll make some sort of dessert as well.
This Vegetarian Roasted Broccoli Cheddar Quiche is the classic flavor of broccoli and cheese.
If you don’t know how to roast broccoli go here.
You don’t have to have it roasted but I really love the flavor of it that way.
I used a Cabot sharp white cheddar but use whatever Cheddar you like.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

Can I prepare this broccoli quiche without using egg yolks?
Peabody says
Do you mean just whole eggs for the whole quiche?
