CRUSTLESS QUICHE WITH GREENS, HERBS, AND GOAT CHEESE



Crustless Quiche With Greens, Herbs, and Goat Cheese image

Easy and nutritious, this quiche is packed with protein, calcium, and iron. You can use any type of greens you like: swiss chard, kale, collards, mustard greens, spinach, etc. I like a mix of spinach and kale, two superfoods. Serve alone for a light dinner or for breakfast, or with a salad or raw veggies for lunch at work.

Provided by Compassionate Chef

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 large leek
2 cups chopped kale
1 cup chopped spinach
5 egg whites
4 whole eggs
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/4 teaspoons dried tarragon
1 1/4 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese

Steps:

  • Spray a 9-inch glass pie dish with non-stick spray and sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the bottom and sides of the dish. Shake the dish around to distribute evenly.
  • Slice the white and light green parts of the leek 1/2 inch thick. Boil 4 cups of salted water and add leeks. Boil 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add spinach and kale. Set aside for 30 minutes for greens to wilt and soften. Drain, rinse with cold water, squeeze out the water, and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk egg whites until frothy and then whisk in the whole eggs. Whisk in milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, tarragon, and basil.
  • Scatter the greens mixture in the bottom of the pie plate over the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle on the goat cheese. Pour egg mixture over the greens and bake 25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh green chiles, onions, and cheese will give your quiche the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the quiche. The center should be slightly wobbly when you take it out of the oven. It will continue to cook as it cools.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing. This will help it hold its shape.
  • Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature. It's also delicious the next day cold for breakfast or lunch.
  • For a spicier quiche, use hotter green chiles or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • For a vegetarian quiche, omit the bacon or use a plant-based bacon substitute.
  • To make a gluten-free quiche, use a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour for the crust.

Conclusion:

This low-carb crustless green chile and cheese quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover green chiles and cheese. With its simple ingredients and customizable flavor profile, this quiche is sure to become a favorite in your household. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy low-carb meal, give this recipe a try!
