UC Master Gardeners are notorious for an over-abundance of produce from their garden. UC Master Gardener Jennifer created a non flour quiche crust using chard.
"I used to make this all the time! What happened? So it is a quiche with a chard crust. A great opportunity to use lots of garden veggies and clean out items in your fridge. You can either steam the big leaves or scatter them in a pie pan and microwave. Several layers are needed to prevent leakage. Layer in ingredients, all the yummy things your family enjoys. Add beaten eggs before putting cheese on top (I forgot about that-it's tough to get the eggs to penetrate the cheese layer). Bake this at 350 for about 1/2 hour then broiled for a few minutes. Needs to cool before I dig in!"
