Ingredients

  • 1 pound chard strip of stems and chopped in small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic roughly chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup Regianno Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 ripe medium tomato sliced in 1/4 inch rounds
  • basil leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Grease a shallow 9" pie pan with olive oil and set aside.
  • Rinse and pat dry the chard. Remove the stems and chop into small pieces.
  • In a large cast iron frying pan or other skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and stir around for 30 seconds or so.
  • Add the chard. Stir around occasionally and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. When well wilted and cooked, remove from heat.
  • In a medium size bowl, fork beat 3 eggs. Add the Parmesan cheese, and chard.
  • Turn the mixture into the greased pie pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Open oven and carefully remove hot pan. Arrange the sliced tomato on top, sprinkle with a teaspoon or two of olive oil, and return to oven for 10 more minutes or until the quiche is set.
  • Remove from oven. Garnish with small basil leaves. Grind a little fresh pepper on top. Let cool a bit and serve.

Notes

If you are allergic to garlic, it's ok to leave it out.
