Crustless Swiss Chard Quiche image

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!

Time 1h

Yield 1 quiche, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 sweet onion
1/2 bunch swiss chard
2 1/2 cups shredded cheese
4 eggs
1 cup skim milk
salt
pepper

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.
