INGREDIENTS:

2 slices of bacon, browned and crumbled
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 (12 oz. pkg.) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
1-1/2 cups medium cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup havarti cheese, shredded
2 cooked skinless and boneless chicken breasts, roughly shredded
1-1/3 cups milk
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup baking mix (use Bisquick - or my recipe: Sandra's Homemade Baking Mix)
1/2 teaspoon fine-grain kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning herb blend
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated

Garnish:
1 tomato, cut into wedges

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 10" decorative pie dish with baking spray and dust lightly with all-purpose flour, and set aside.

In medium saucepan, heat to medium-heat, and brown the bacon, then drain bacon strips on a paper-towel lined plate, and crumble when cooled. Retain drippings in the skillet, and add the onion, and cook until its translucent. Add thawed broccoli, and cook until any remaining liquid evaporates.

Place onion and broccoli mixture in prepared pie dish; let cool for 10 minutes. Layer cheddar cheese, havarti cheese, and the chicken over broccoli mixture.

In medium bowl combine remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour into pie dish and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until puffed and set. Top with parmesan cheese and return to oven for 5 minutes longer, just to melt cheese. Serve slices of chicken-broccoli-bacon quiche, with tomato wedges alongside. - Enjoy!
