Looking through my refrigerator, I find I have leftover chicken, ramps, bacon and Swiss chard. I thought that would make a very tasty quiche. If you've never had ramps, you are definitely missing out. The only thing that makes me sad about them is that they are only available a couple weeks a year. But I made pesto this year, so I will get to enjoy them longer. This quiche, however, uses the green leaves. I'll have to try it with the pesto sometime.
Chicken Chard Quiche
- 1 cup cooked, leftover chicken*
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon*
- 1 small bunch Swiss chard
- 1 small bunch ramps leaves*
- 1 cup sharp cheddar
- 1/2 cup fresh shredded parmesan
- 5 eggs*
- 1 1/2 cup 1% milk
- salt and pepper
Wash Swiss chard and remove stems. Place chard and ramps in a microwave steamer with 1/4" water and cook on high for 2 minutes. Allow to steam while cooking bacon (1 minute per slice in microwave). Uncover vegetables and cool to handle. Squeeze out moisture and chop into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle chicken, vegetables and bacon into pie plate. Sprinkle with cheeses. Whip eggs with milk and seasonings. Pour over fillings. Bake in a preheated 350F oven for 35 minutes.
