Rainbow Quiche Recipes

RAINBOW-CHARD QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and chard leaves; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chard wilts and becomes tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool completely. Meanwhile, blanch chard stems in a pot of generously salted water until crisp-tender and more vibrant in color, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain; transfer to another plate and let cool completely. Melt remaining 7 tablespoons butter in a saucepan. Brush a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate or straight-sided skillet with melted butter. Place 1 sheet of phyllo in pie plate; brush with more butter. Continue layering phyllo in overlapping concentric circles, brushing each layer with more butter. Transfer pie plate to rimmed baking sheet.
• Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in milk, cream, and Dijon; season with salt and pepper. Spread chard-leaves mixture in phyllo crust; pour egg mixture over. Sprinkle nutmeg over top.
• Bake until eggs begin to set at edges, about 25 minutes. Scatter chard stems evenly over top. Continue baking until eggs are set in center and puffed slightly and phyllo is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack 15 minutes. Stir together sour cream and harissa; serve with quiche.

MINI RAINBOW QUICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Using a 6cm cookie cutter, cut out the pastry and line each cup of a mini greased muffin tin pan with the pastry.
• Beat eggs together. Add milk, cream, nutmeg and flour. Mix until combined.
• Pour small amounts of egg mixture into pastry-lined muffin tin until it nearly reaches the top.
• Top four uncooked quiches with red pepper, four with orange pepper, four with spinach, four with blue cheese, four with purple potato and leave four without toppings, making 24 in total.
• Bake for 20 minutes until quiche has risen and turned golden.

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.
