Yield Makes one 10-inch quiche

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/2 recipe Flaky Tart Dough
10 large eggs
2 cups creme fraiche
2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
2 heaping cups torn Swiss chard leaves
1/2 cup Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll dough into a 16-inch round. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off any excess flour; fit dough into a 2-inch deep-dish tart pan with a removable bottom, gently pressing it into the sides. Using a sharp knife, trim the dough evenly with the edge of the pan. Cover with plastic wrap; chill tart shell until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Line the tart dough with a sheet of parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Transfer to oven and bake until light brown, about 25 minutes. Remove weights and parchment paper and continue baking until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix together 1 egg and flour on high speed until smooth. Add the remaining 9 eggs and continue mixing until well blended.
  • Place creme fraiche in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth; add milk and continue whisking until well combined. Add to mixer along with salt, pepper, and thyme; mix until well combined. Strain mixture into a large bowl through a fine mesh sieve.
  • Tightly pack Swiss chard leaves and cheese into prepared tart shell. Pour over egg mixture until tart shell is full (you may not need to use all of the egg mixture). Bake 20 minutes; reduce temperature to 325 degrees, and continue baking until filling is slightly firm, rather than liquid, and crust is a deep golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes more. Transfer quiche to a wire rack to cool until set, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. To reheat, cover quiche with aluminum foil and bake in an oven heated to 325 degrees for about 15 minutes.

This quiche was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less cheese.

I'm not sure about this quiche. The combination of Swiss chard and cheese seems a bit strange to me.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my quiche didn't turn out as well as I expected. The crust was too soggy and the filling was bland.

I had some leftover Swiss chard, so I decided to try this quiche recipe. It was a great way to use up the chard, and the quiche was really tasty.

This quiche was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with some added herbs or spices.

I'm not a big fan of Swiss chard, but I really enjoyed this quiche. The chard was cooked perfectly and didn't have a strong flavor.

This quiche was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made pie crust to save time, and it still tasted delicious.

This quiche was a hit with my family! The Swiss chard added a delicious savory flavor, and the crust was perfectly flaky. I will definitely be making this again.
