One of my challenges with healthy eating in this family is greens. While the kids will munch on a broccoli without any fuss some how the greens need a bit of masking. That goes not just with the kids but Ziv too! Yup hubby can be a big baby when it comes to leaves. He has a mental allergy towards them.

So the only way I approach it is so make it less obvious. Often they go in wraps, quiches, tortillas and of course soup!!

This quiche is so versatile and works great not just with Swiss chard. I’ve made it with a few other greens too! The best part? It’s simple, easy and effortless for me.

I refer to this as my three step process that’s why I love it so much.

Step 1 – Prepare Swiss Chard mixture – this can be done in advance.

• In fact you can make this in the beginning of the week. Then prepare the quiche for dinner on the day you need it.
• If you have extra Swiss Chard lying around and have no time to use it – prepare this mix, cool it and throw it i the freezer.

Step II – Prepare Cheese Mixture – This gets done in two minutes because it’s simple as whisking them in a bowl.

Step III – Assemble and Bake !! Assembling takes 2 minutes and the quiche takes as little as 30 minutes to cook.

Let’s talk ingredients

• Swiss Chard  – I’ve used only Swiss chard in this recipe but if you prefer you can make a combination of spinach and Swiss chard too!
• Cottage Cheese – I like using cottage cheese as it adds more body to the mixture and of course is more healthy compared to cream for a weekday dinner. But by all means if you prefer the richness of cream go ahead and substitute the cottage cheese with half the amount of cream (in this case 1/2 cup)
• Cheese – I’ve used a combination of Cheddar, Gouda and a hint of Parmesan. Gouda and Parmesan are a bit stronger in flavor so they work better for us as I like the quiche to appear more cheesy than has a Swiss Chard flavor.
• Milk – I have substituted the milk with Coconut milk and it’s yum.. with a coconut flavor of course. I know a friend who uses Almond milk in all her quiche instead of milk but I have not tired that yet.
