Tips from the EatingWell Test Kitchen

These are the key tips we learned while developing and testing this recipe in our Test Kitchen to make sure it works, tastes great and is good for you too! 

• This recipe calls for cherry tomatoes because they have an abundance of flavor. If you can get them on the vine, even better.
• An 8-ounce head of broccoli provides enough florets for this dish. The quiche would be good with cauliflower, too.
• Space out the broccoli and tomatoes on the baking sheet to maximize browning and flavor. Roasting them also helps release moisture to prevent a soggy quiche.
• For easy meal prep, bake the quiche in a muffin tin instead of a pie dish. You’ll get perfectly portioned, grab-and-go mini quiches that reheat like a dream and freeze well, too.

Nutrition Notes

• Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable rich in antioxidants called glucosinolates. These compounds are anti-inflammatory and may help reduce the risk of cancer. Broccoli is also low in calories and a good source of fiber. Broccoli contains vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting. If you take blood thinners, you may have to limit the amount of foods that contain vitamin K. 
• Tomatoes are a low-carb, hydrating fruit. Tomatoes contain vitamin C for good skin health, potassium for heart health, and antioxidants for cellular health. 
• Great northern beans are creamy white beans that are an excellent source of fiber. Some of this fiber is fermented in the gut, which is excellent for your gut health and produces short-chain fatty acids that can help reduce overall inflammation in the body. 
• Eggs are a complete source of protein, which is found in the whites and the yolk. The yolk is also where you’ll find vitamins A and D. Eggs are the primary source of choline in the diet—great for brain health.
