Combine 18 eggs, 1 cup half-and-half, 1 tablespoon mustard and ½ teaspoon salt together in a large bowl; whisk until thoroughly blended. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with 2 cups potatoes, 2 cups cheese, 1 cup broccoli, white scallion parts and half of the reserved cooked bacon. Bake until just set, 28 to 30 minutes, rotating pan front to back halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Cut the eggs into 12 squares. Sprinkle with the green scallions and the remaining bacon. Serve with ½ cup sour cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
Allow the quiche to cool completely before cutting it into squares, but avoid leaving it at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Once cooled, transfer the quiche squares to a storage container, placing parchment paper between each layer. You can refrigerate the quiche in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze it in freezer-safe bags for up to 3 months. Reheat one square in the microwave for about 20 seconds; if frozen, let thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
This quiche is an excellent choice for a light lunch, especially when paired with one of our favorite salads, such as ourBasic Green Salad with VinaigretteorSimple Spinach Salad. Additionally, it pairs wonderfully with a variety ofbrunch side disheslike French toast and baked oats.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
