Make this easy Slow Cooker Crustless Broccoli Cheese Quiche for breakfast or for dinner! Filled with tender broccoli and cheese and makes a perfect breakfast or dinner.

Have you ever made an egg dish in the slow cooker? It’s the only way I do quiche and breakfast casseroles now. I want to make clear that this is not an overnight recipe. I’ve tried egg dishes a few times overnight, even on the low setting they get overcooked. I’ve made so many, this one and my bacon jalapeno quiche are my favorite.

This recipe for Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheese Quiche needs only 2 hours and 15 minutes on the high setting, that is the perfect amount for the eggs to set up and they are still tender.

I decided to use cream cheese instead of milk or sour cream. The cream cheese gave this a bit of creaminess, but I could not taste cream cheese at all, it’s just there bringing the whole dish together. This breakfast casserole is low-carb and still tastes amazing.

    Can this cook on the low settimg overnight?

      No, it will overcook. On low, the maximum I would cook is 3-4 hours.

    Would I need to blanch frozen broccoli?

      Yes, I would. It won’t cook much in the slow cooker.
