1 nos., Small onion, chopped
1/4 cup, Green bell pepper, thinly sliced

Directions to make Broccoli Bread Quiche

Prepare the bread base:

Make the egg mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and cream.
Assemble the quiche:
Spread the sautéed vegetable mixture over the bread base. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Pour the egg mixture over everything, making sure it soaks into the bread.

Let the quiche cool 10 minutes after baking for cleaner slices.
Add herbs like oregano, basil, or thyme for extra flavor.
For extra protein, toss in some cooked chicken or tofu crumbles.
