Swiss Chard and Cheddar Quiche

On Thursday I made a swiss chard and cheddar quiche. The recipe came from the April 2011 issue of Real Simple. This was a very simple dish to make. All I had to do was chop an onion and the swiss chard and then soften them in a pan. I then dumped that into a bowl with some eggs, salt and pepper, and cheddar cheese. Toss all of that into a pie crust and bake for 45 minutes. Viola! Here's what I got:








I forgot to take a picture of it until we were sitting at the table eating it!

It came out of the oven looking awesome. Mark said it was perfect, and he loved it. He even saved some for lunch on Friday. However, I hated it. I hated it so much that I dug a beef burrito out of the freezer and had that for dinner. Is it cheating if I make a vegetarian meal but end up eating a beef burrito? I tried it so I think that counts.

Mark said the quiche was perfect and delicious and that the problem was with me and not the recipe. I had a problem with the texture of it. I found it to be entirely too squishy yet Mark assured me it was well cooked. His theory is I don't like baked eggs. There were three eggs baked into the quiche so I'm going with what he said.

If your into quiches then I think you will like this. Next week I'm falling back on tomato soup since it will still be cold outside. However, I dug up a new recipe for the soup, and I am looking forward to testing it out.
