When Super Sister (SS) was planning the Bridesmaid’s Luncheon, she wanted a chicken and broccoli quiche. This is what she created. Oh my, I think it is the best quiche I have ever eaten. Everyone was raving about how tasty and delicious it was. SS made 6 quiches for the luncheon. FYI, She bought 3 rotisserie chickens for the 6 quiches, but did not use all of the chicken. Rotisserie chicken has great flavor, and it makes using cooked chicken easy. She explains, “This was a lot of chicken, but I did not want to skimp.” It made a difference.
She also diced the fresh broccoli florets really small because, “I did not want big chunks of broccoli in the quiches.”
Super Sister diced the chicken, sautéed the onions and cut up the broccoli and parsley the night before. The next morning they made an assembly line and filled the pie shells full with the fillings.
Another note is that she mixed the eggs and evaporated milk separately for each quiche. Each quiche got its own fair share of filling.
Try this for your next breakfast, brunch, lunch, supper, tea party, dinner, midnight snack… You get the message. You won’t be sorry. And by the way, if you make it, please invite me over.
