Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add onion; cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broccoli and water; cook, stirring, until the broccoli starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Fold in the broccoli mixture, shredded cheese, and chopped bacon. Spoon into the prepared pie pan.

Chef's notes
Vegetables:
if you don’t want to use broccoli, you can add sautéd mushrooms, peppers, spinach, kale, asparagus, artichoke hearts, or a mixture of veggies.
Vegetarian:
you can easily make a vegetarian crustless quiche, just leave out the bacon!
Protein:
use cooked sausage, chorizo, or ham instead of the bacon.
Cheese:
instead of cheddar cheese use Monterey jack, mozzarella, goat cheese, feta cheese, or Parmesan cheese.
Half and Half:
I use whole milk and a little heavy cream, but if you want to use all half and half, you can.
Herbs:
feel free to add fresh basil, thyme, or parsley.
Spicy:
if you want the quiche to have a little kick, add crushed red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce.
