Breakfast

Ingredients

3/4 packet Brussels sprouts, halved or quartered

1/2 cup frozen peas (or fresh, if you can get them!)

4 slices of thick cut bacon, sliced into lardons

1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you’re a star!)

1/2 cup whole milk

8 large eggs

3/4 cup Parmesan, grated

3 tablespoons parsley, chopped

kosher salt

freshly ground black pepper

2-3 tablespoons canola oil

Instructions

1

Roast your Brussels sprouts in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Toss them in canola or vegetable oil and salt and pepper. Once finished, take them out and set them aside. Reduce the heat of your oven to 375 degrees.

2

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, put your bacon lardons in a sauté pan and fry over medium heat until the fat is rendered and you’re left with crispy bits, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined dish.

3

Unroll your piecrust and arrange it in a pie dish. Prick the pie crust all over the bottom and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes then take it out.

4

Sprinkle most of your parmesan over the bottom of the pie crust, leaving enough to sprinkle over the top of the quiche before baking. Next, add the Brussels sprouts, then peas, then bacon.

5

Whisk your eggs and then mix in the milk, a pinch or two of salt and nice grinding of pepper. Add this to the quiche. Sprinkle the parsley and the rest of the parmesan over the top of the quiche.

6

Put the pie dish on a baking sheet in case any of the egg mixture overflows during baking and place in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes. The filling should be set without any jiggle and the crust should be golden.

Key Points About Ingredients:

• Brussels sprouts are halved or quartered to ensure even roasting and maximum caramelization, adding a slightly nutty, crispy edge to every bite.
• Thick-cut bacon sliced into lardons renders slowly so you get rich, meaty bits of smoky flavor distributed throughout the quiche.
• Using whole milk instead of heavy cream keeps the custard creamy yet lighter, striking the perfect balance between richness and texture.
• Freshly grated Parmesan added both to the base and the top creates a savory, golden crust on the surface while seasoning the custard from within.
• Pricking and pre-baking the pie crust prevents a soggy bottom, ensuring a crisp, flaky foundation that holds up to the egg filling.

Key Nutritional Insights:

• Eggs are a powerhouse of complete protein and provide essential B vitamins including B12, riboflavin, and choline, supporting brain and energy health.
• Brussels sprouts are an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin C, and fiber, adding meaningful micronutrient density to each slice.
• Parmesan cheese contributes a significant dose of calcium and phosphorus, supporting strong bones and teeth.
• Bacon lardons add sodium and saturated fat, so those monitoring cardiovascular health may wish to reduce the quantity or swap for turkey bacon.
• The combination of eggs, milk, and cheese makes this quiche a good source of iodine, which supports healthy thyroid function.
