Recipe Summary Farm Share Quiche

What started as an easy, delicious way to use the Swiss chard we got in our farm share quickly became a reason to go out and buy it at the farmer's market! Sophisticated enough to serve at brunch, this quiche also fits right in as finger food at summer picnics. We especially love it when most of the ingredients come from our farm share and we use fresh eggs from our neighbor's chickens. Friends who initially raised their eyebrows at Swiss chard not only request I make it, they ask for the recipe. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients | Hayton Farms

1 tablespoon butter

1 large sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), cut into chunks

6 eggs

½ cup whole milk

10 ounces shredded Jarlsberg cheese

2 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 bunches Swiss chard, stems and leaves separated

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

1 pinch nutmeg

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 prepared 10-inch pie crust

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in melted butter until soft, about 7 minutes; transfer to large bowl.

Blend eggs, milk, Jarlsberg cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a food processor or blender; pour into bowl with the onion. Add chard, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper; mix. Pour egg mixture into prepared pie crust.

Bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

You can make this crustless or into a finger food by omitting the crust and pouring the filling into muffin tins or individual ramekins instead of the pie plate.

We've tried half Swiss chard and half beet greens when short on Swiss chard.
