Broccoli & Tomato Quiche is a fabulously easy-to-make vegetarian quiche the whole family will love! Made with a sheet of puff pastry it couldn’t be easier!

When I visited my grandparents as a child there was always an abundance of home-cooked food but for some reason, the savoury offerings have vanished from my memory (apart from the huge roast turkey dinners at Christmas).

I do remember my grandmother’s pie bird though so we must have had some sort of pie!

I remember more the individual cakes, jellies, and trifles (angelica and cocktail cherries were all the rage in the 70’s).

So we can conclude that I had a sweet tooth from a young age plus granny usually had a paper bag containing sugar mice for me stashed away in her cabinet in the hallway! Do sugar mice still exist?

Anyway, as Ronnie Corbett would say (yep showing my age again) “I digress”.

As the years went by home cooking and baking went on the back burner, and up popped things like M&S’s Broccoli and Tomato Quiche with various cold meats and salads.

This suited me down to the ground as I’ve always been an avid fan of quiche!

So the other day, finding myself with some bargain broccoli and puff pastry it suddenly dawned on me to make my version of the M&S Broccoli & Tomato Quiche.

Why I’d never made this before I don’t know, better late than never though!

This quiche also fits in with our current quest to cut down on our red and processed meat consumption which is not only a saving to the purse but better for your health.

I even heard Jamie Oliver on the radio the other night telling listeners how he’d lost weight by eating more vegetable-based meals.

Everyone here loved the quiche and with the off-cuts of pastry, I made a couple of individual quiches (in mini tart tins) for the kids’ packed lunches at the same time! A definite 2 birds with one stone scenario!

    Nothing is nicer than a homemade quiche I’m sure. But I have never made one! This looks great.

    Brocolli is one of my favourite vegetables and this is a great way to incorporate it into a dish, delicious.

    Yay! Another way to enjoy broccoli – I really don’t know what Ev would eat if he didn’t have this vegetable! Finding new ways to incorporate it is great 🙂

    I must admit, one of the few ready meals we buy is a quiche. We really should make them, especially with a supply of eggs from our friend!

    My daughter and hubby would love this, and I love the fact it doesn’t look too difficult. I’ll give it a go. 🙂

    I love quiche, and do make it occasionally so will give this a try.

    As per your question, my grandparents was a house of delicious food – my nanna and grandad often had the whole family round on a weekend for a roast dinner which was a partnership effort for them. My grandad made the absolute best mashed potato! The leftover chicken broth was something special too….but everything we ate there was divine.

      I think we must have had roasts and that’s probably why I haven’t remembered as they probably all just merged into the Christmas roast in my childhood memory! Hope you enjoy the quiche:-)

    I adore quiche and was quite surprised to read somewhere earlier this year that is was becoming ‘old fashioned’ I still make quiches and buy them as I adore them with salads during the Summer or with a jacket and veg during the Winter months. They are so versatile and you can add what fillings you like! This recipe looks fab! Thank you!

    All I remember is my grandma literally chasing after me with a spoon trying to make me eat. Greek mamas (and grandmas) are obsessed with how much food the children are having (or not as the case might be). My mum did make a mean quiche Lorraine though but somehow I haven’t ever made any. Thanks for linking to #CookBlogShare always lovely to see your recipes

    We should make quiche more often, but we often forget about it. This looks so yummy, it’s one to pin and try out very soon! I remember being offered “poor man’s chicken” at my grandma’s when i was little and refusing to eat it until they told me what it really was – rabbit! Which I then got very upset about. Fast forward quite a few years to me living in France and happily tucking into rabbit 😉

    Love the look of this recipe, I always loved going to my granny’s house as she made a mean quiche too, and this looks like it would taste amazing! 🙂 #TastyTuesdays

      Thank you – I feel so bad I can only remember my granny’s roasts but maybe that what he has as we usually visited on a Sunday:-) It was when I was older that the shop bought foods made an appearance!

      Thanks Sarah, we have quiches quite regularly as they’re a good dinner to knock up when you’re pushed for time and can use up odds and ends in your fridge:-)

    This looks fantastic Camilla! Brilliant idea to make lunch-box versions too at the same time – genius! Thank you so much for entering the #NoWasteFoodChallenge with such a scrumptious recipe. 😀

    I don’t think I have ever had an M&S quiche but this does sound lovely. I can see why you would want to make it. I have similar food memories about my grandmother’s cooking. They had a big farm and as my grandmother was a fantastic Southern cook (US) there was always a huge table covered with piled-high platters of freshly cooked vegetables and roasted meats. My favourite has always been the vegetables, partly because we stayed with them in the summer and helped in the kitchen garden.

      Thanks Kellie. How wonderful for you to grow up with your grandparents farm:-) I remember my Danish grandparents vegetable plot in their garden, I can see bunches of carrots and potatoes waiting to be brought into the house LOL – I do love childhood food memories:-)

    I’ve never used puff pastry for a quiche as I wasn’t sure how to keep the filling in but it really looks glorious. Thanks for sharing two of my recipes!

    Your quiche looks great and I will be definitely trying this very soon! I have grown up at my grandmother’s house and remember having more of Indian savory treats from her more than sweets though my interest lies in baking now 🙂 #TastyTuesdays
