I am a huge fan of kale and artichokes but unfortunately, my husband and kids usually don’t warm up to them unless in a quiche. We as a family love quiche and my kids will eat anything I put in a quiche. Yes!! as long as it’s quiche! I know!! Well, I do take advantage of that sometimes and put in things they don’t fancy.

Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes – (Save/Pin)

  • Kale – I love kale but you could replace any green leafy veggies like spinach and Swiss chard. A little tip – cut the kale a bit small or it’s difficult to cut the quiche into pretty slices.
  • Artichoke – provides a little bite in the quiche – you can omit or add mushrooms instead.
  • Ricotta – this is often my go to when I want to replace cream in a recipe – it adds body to the liquid so the quiche can hold it’s self.
  • Nutmeg – I love adding nutmeg to my quiches – just a little bit of flavor and people keep asking – what is that flavor you added? Trust me!

    Like you I love adding a bit of nutmeg to my quiche! I thought I was the only one! This quiche looks so delicious, healthy and creamy! I add ricotta or cottage cheese also to quiches often

    Yum, I love a good frittata, which is essentially the same idea as a crustless quiche. It’s great that your kids will eat anything you put in a quiche – I hope I can say the same for my son one day! 🙂

    Yum! I love the flavors in this quiche. I’m also guilty of hiding the veggies in quiches so my kids will eat them, it’s hard not to! What a great springtime recipe.

    I’m a kale lovers as well. I enjoy making things to “hide” some ingredients and I love the look on my family’s face when I tell them what’s in it after then have eaten. It’s so much fun!
