Crustless Swiss Chard Quiche

Recipe #311434 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Chef-girl-OV
Jul 2, 2008

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!

SERVES 8 , 1 quiche (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. 2
    Wash and dry swiss chard. Cut off the very ends of the stems. Roughly chop (leaving stems intact) the chard.
  3. 3
    Add onion and Chard to the oil and saute until stems are tender (do not overcook). Add salt & pepper to taste.
  4. 4
    Meanwhile, grate 2.5 cups of cheese. Use whatever varieties you want/have. Be creative! I used Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan, and Cojito.
  5. 5
    Wisk eggs. Add milk and cheese. Fold in the onion/chard mixture. Add salt & pepper to taste, if necessary.
  6. 6
    Pour into a pie dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  7. 7
    Bake for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown and no liquid seeps when you poke it with a knife.

This was GREAT! My husband, who doesn't like most leafy greens even liked it. I also added cooked potato slices which made it a bit more filling for him.

    Honestly, this is fantastic! Of course, I can't ever seem to follow a recipe, regardless of how good the recipe is. I used homemade almond milk instead of skim milk, I threw in a can of mushroom stem/pieces, and chopped up a couple of huge hot peppers (wonderfully spicy). I have always stayed away from making quiche because of the crust, but I can safely say that this is going to become a staple, trying out different taste combinations. Thank-you for posting this!

    Absolutely delicious! We used 1 cup of mexican 4 cheese blend, 1 cup of fontina and 1/2 cup of freshly shaved parmesan and it was fabulous. We polished off the entire quiche in like 5 minutes. Will definitely make again!
