Swiss Chard Quiche
Swiss Chard Quiche
I posted a recipe last week for Sauteed Rainbow Swiss Chard. I have more Chard in my garden, ( plus we always have tons of eggs) so I thought I would make this Quiche.
Start out by washing and taking out the stalks of the chard, then chopping it up. About 10-12 big leaves is what is below. I also added 2 small green onoins and a clove of garlic. And about a tablespoon of butter to sautee it in. Let it cook for maybe 4-5 minutes, until everthing is soft.
Then you have 6 eggs and 1/2 cup whole milk and add to a bowl. ( I had chopped my onions into that bowl before I sauteed them, which is why there looks to be a few green onions left, no worries). Then you add the Cheese! I shredded 10 oz of Swiss cheese, and about 2 Tablespoons of grated Parmasan cheese. Not the kind in the big green tubs, but the hard kind that you actually have to grate yourself. That gives it a nice little something extra. Stir really well.
Prepare a 10 inch pie crust. Store bought or homeade. Poke holes in it and bake for just a few minutes, about 5-6.
Pour everything into the pie crust, and then grate about 2 more ounces of Swiss Cheese on top. It looks like it has a lot of chard in it, but beleive me it will cook up nicely.
And it did! You have to cook it for about 45-50 minutes or until a fork can peirce it and it's not all runny.
Even my 5 and 7 year olds like this. It's a great way to use up eggs and chard and it's a fun dinner that's a bit difference. Hope you guys enjoy!

Sauteed Rainbow Swiss Chard- Yum
We have Rainbow Swiss chard in our garden right now, as well as green onions ( I think other folks may call them "spring onions") .
My girls have always loved Rainbow Swiss Chard because of their beautiful colors. I've always loved the flavor as well as knowing how much wonderful nutrition is packed in each little leaf.
Our poor snow peas. We can't get more than a few before they get picked. My kids eat them as fast as they can grow....
Chop up about 2-3 garlic cloves and get them sautee'ing in a hot skillet. I use olive oil, you could use flavored olive oil for a different flavor.
When they have cooked for about 1 minute, add the chard, oregano and onions. Add a pinch of salt and pepper . Sautee for about 4-5 minutes, then serve warm. I'm telling you my kids love this. It's like a really nice fancy little treat. The colors are the most fun.
My girls have always loved Rainbow Swiss Chard because of their beautiful colors. I've always loved the flavor as well as knowing how much wonderful nutrition is packed in each little leaf.
This is "spicy oregano". It's great to use as a little extra flavor in cooking. My kids don't complain that they are spicy at all.
A picture of one of our garden plots, you can see the muscadine and grape arbors around the back perimeter.
The green onions about to be harvested for supper.
My super cute helper. I love that he has a smudge of dirt on his face....
The rainbow chard and onions harvested for supper.
So below you will see the Rainbow swiss chard, a tiny bit of they spicy oregano and the green onions. Wash and chop those into very small pieces.
When they have cooked for about 1 minute, add the chard, oregano and onions. Add a pinch of salt and pepper . Sautee for about 4-5 minutes, then serve warm. I'm telling you my kids love this. It's like a really nice fancy little treat. The colors are the most fun.
I have another recipe for the Rainbow Swiss Chard I hope to get up in the next day or two. Since that is in season for most folks, it would be great to get a few more ideas on how to best cook them up.
Until Next time- Happy Homesteading!!!
