Ingredients

Scale

2 cups fresh kale, chopped (stems removed)

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (or substitute heavy cream for a richer texture)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste


Instructions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Kale and Onion:
    • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet set to medium heat..
    • Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent.
    • Stir in the kale and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Mix the Egg Mixture:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or heavy cream), nutmeg, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  4. Combine Ingredients:
    • Spread the sautéed kale and onions evenly in the prepared pie dish.
    • Evenly sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and grated Parmesan across the top
    • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and cheese, ensuring everything is well-distributed.
  5. Bake:
    • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top.
    • Check for doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh kale and high-quality goat cheese enhance flavor and texture.
  • Sauté Vegetables Thoroughly: Ensure onions are soft and kale is wilted for balanced flavors.
  • Grease the Pan Well: Prevent sticking by coating the dish evenly with oil or butter.
  • Avoid Overbaking: Check for doneness with a toothpick to keep the quiche creamy.
  • Experiment with Add-ins: Customize with vegetables, cheeses, or proteins.
