Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray, for the muffin pan
3 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
5 cups cornflakes, lightly crushed
1 1/2 cups grated white sharp Cheddar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 Vidalia onion, diced
1 teaspoon ground mustard powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 bunch collard greens, stemmed and finely chopped (about 3 cups)
1 cup half-and-half
4 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heavily spray a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat (see Cook's Note) into a large, heatproof bowl. To the bacon fat, add the crushed corn flakes and Cheddar. Stir the mixture together until it starts to clump. Press the mixture into the cups of the prepared muffin pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool slightly on a baking rack in the pan.
Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the onions and cook until softened and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle on the mustard, salt, paprika and pepper. Stir the collard greens into the onion mixture. Continue cooking the greens, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Whisk together the half-and-half and eggs, then stir in the greens. Pour some of the egg mixture into each crust in the pan to come about three-quarters of the way up and sprinkle on the bacon. Bake until the egg has set and doesn't jiggle, 15 to 20 minutes. Set the mini quiches on a baking rack for 10 minutes to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

Use fresh kale: Fresh kale is more flavorful and nutritious than wilted or frozen kale. If you can't find fresh kale, you can use frozen kale that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
Chop the kale finely: Finely chopped kale will cook more evenly and will be less likely to overpower the other ingredients in the quiche.
Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of cheeses will give the quiche a more complex flavor. You can use any type of cheese you like, but some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
Don't overcook the quiche: The quiche is done when the center is just set and the top is golden brown. Overcooked quiche will be dry and crumbly.
Let the quiche cool slightly before serving: This will help the quiche to set and will make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This cheesy kale quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's packed with nutritious kale and cheese, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this cheesy kale quiche a try.
