SALMON AND SWISS CHARD QUICHE

Salmon and Swiss Chard Quiche image

This is a crustless quiche that looks and tastes great. Red Swiss chard makes the quiche very attractive. It would also be good with half the salmon and twice the chard for a different flavor emphasis. The quiche can also be baked in your favorite crust if you prefer. Just bake a little longer

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, divided
¼ cup plain dried bread crumbs
2 cups 2% milk
8 ounces salmon fillets, skin removed
⅓ cup chopped onion
½ bunch Swiss chard, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried marjoram
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 eggs

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 10 inch pie plate using about 1 tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle bread crumbs into the pie dish and shake to coat evenly, discarding excess.
Pour the milk into a large saucepan and warm over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until salmon can be flaked with a fork.
Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and Swiss chard; cook and stir until tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt, pepper, marjoram and nutmeg. Set aside to cool; you should have about one cup of chard and onion.
Spread the chard mixture and flake the salmon into the prepared pie plate. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and one cup of cooled milk from poaching the salmon. Pour into the pie dish.
Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the center is set. Cool slightly before serving.
