Quiche
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the pie shell for 8 minutes, occasionally pricking with a fork to deflate any air bubbles, or until lightly colored. Remove the shell and set aside.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Meanwhile, in an 8 inch x 8 inch microwaveable baking dish, combine the broccoli, onion, oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cover with plastic wrap, leaving a small corner vent. Microwave on high power, stirring once, for 3 minutes, or until sizzling. Remove. Add the half-and-half, tomatoes, and 3/4 cup of the cheese. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating with a fork after each addition.
Pour the filling into the reserved pie shell. Sprinkle with the remaining 0.25 cup of the cheese. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until set. Let stand for 15 minutes.
