This recipe is for a vegetarian quiche, but you can easily adapt it to a vegan version, or use meat to make it non-veggie. My whole family loved this, and they don't normally like quiche very much. I served it with a wild & long grain rice cooked with dried cranberries, and some carrots and peas.

Even using whole milk and full fat ingredients, this is fairly low cal, but if fat-free or low fat alternatives this would be a great low cal/low fat brunch or lunch dish. Recipe source: local newspaper

Tips:

Use fresh kale: Fresh kale is more tender and flavorful than wilted kale. If you can't find fresh kale, you can use frozen kale, but be sure to thaw it and drain it thoroughly before using.
Sauté the kale and onion before adding to the quiche filling: This will help to soften the kale and onion and bring out their flavor.
Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in a quiche, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss cheese are all good choices.
Don't overcook the quiche: The quiche is done when the center is just set. If you overcook it, the filling will become dry and rubbery.
Let the quiche cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the quiche from falling apart when you cut it.

Conclusion:

Kale and onion quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover kale. With its creamy, cheesy filling and flaky crust, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. .
