- Pamper yourself during the coronavirus outbreak with easy, comfort food casseroles.
- Clean out your freezer; this recipe uses frozen broccoli, shredded potatoes, and pie crust.
- A filling and nutritious casserole to please the whole family.
As we are sticking close to home during these high anxiety days, many of us are craving old-fashioned, comfort food casseroles. Since a trip to the grocery store might literally put our lives in danger, most of us are shopping less often and purchasing more items that can hang out in the freezer for a while, like broccoli.
I remember the days when fresh broccoli was a seasonal purchase. But for years I have purchased broccoli in the produce section year-round, and have basically ignored it in the frozen food aisle. Not in these topsy-turvy times though. You absolutely can make this recipe with fresh broccoli, but right now I want easy, and frozen broccoli is easy to use and just as nutritious.
Serve this quiche for brunch or dinner, along with crispy bacon (or veggie bacon) and crusty rolls or homemade bread.
