Crustless Quiche With Onion Mushrooms And Swiss Chard Recipes

CRUSTLESS SWISS CHARD QUICHE

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.

MINI CRUSTLESS QUICHES WITH MUSHROOMS AND SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the cavities of a 12-cup muffin tin with the cooking spray.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the chard and mushrooms and cook until the chard wilts and mushrooms release their moisture, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and a few dashes of hot sauce in a large bowl, preferably with a spout. Season with salt and pepper.
• Evenly divide the chard mixture between the muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture over the top and stir each cup with a fork to make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan and bake until slightly golden and a toothpick or butter knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Loosen the mini crustless quiches from the muffin cups with a rubber spatula and transfer to a platter for serving.

CHARD QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a nine-inch quiche pan with pastry. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Rinse the Swiss chard and chop it fine.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet, add the onion and saute until just turning golden. Add the Swiss chard and continue to saute about 10 minutes, until the Swiss chard has wilted. Stir in the currants and season with Cayenne pepper and salt. Spread the Swiss chard mixture into the prepared quiche pan.
• Beat the eggs and mix with the cream and milk. Pour over the Swiss chard in the pan. Sprinkle with cheese.
• Bake about 40 minutes, until puffed and browned. Serve warm or cool.
