Best Rainbow Chard Quiche Recipes
RAINBOW-CHARD QUICHE
Chard leaves turn rich and tender when cooked; here, the mild stems provide a vivid topping for a brunch quiche. To ensure that the phyllo dough does not become dry and brittle, thaw it completely in the refrigerator; keep it covered with a towel as you work.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and chard leaves; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chard wilts and becomes tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool completely. Meanwhile, blanch chard stems in a pot of generously salted water until crisp-tender and more vibrant in color, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain; transfer to another plate and let cool completely. Melt remaining 7 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Brush a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate or straight-sided skillet with melted butter. Place 1 sheet of phyllo in pie plate; brush with more butter. Continue layering phyllo in overlapping concentric circles, brushing each layer with more butter. Transfer pie plate to rimmed baking sheet.
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in milk, cream, and Dijon; season with salt and pepper. Spread chard-leaves mixture in phyllo crust; pour egg mixture over. Sprinkle nutmeg over top.
- Bake until eggs begin to set at edges, about 25 minutes. Scatter chard stems evenly over top. Continue baking until eggs are set in center and puffed slightly and phyllo is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack 15 minutes. Stir together sour cream and harissa; serve with quiche.
CRUSTLESS SWISS CHARD QUICHE
I have been working on perfecting the perfect crustless quiche recipe for years. I always use spinach, but I bought some Rainbow Swiss Chard at the local farmer's market today, and I thought I'd give it a try in quiche. I used Rainbow Chard (pink/yellow/white/orange stems---- BEAUTIFUL), but you can use any chard (or try substituting other greens) I do notice that fresh greens give a much better taste than frozen greens though!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Wash and dry swiss chard. Cut off the very ends of the stems. Roughly chop (leaving stems intact) the chard.
- Add onion and Chard to the oil and saute until stems are tender (do not overcook). Add salt & pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, grate 2.5 cups of cheese. Use whatever varieties you want/have. Be creative! I used Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan, and Cojito.
- Wisk eggs. Add milk and cheese. Fold in the onion/chard mixture. Add salt & pepper to taste, if necessary.
- Pour into a pie dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown and no liquid seeps when you poke it with a knife.
