Cheesey Garlic Mustard Quiche - Weekend Recipe

As a transition from our Mustard month to our Quiche month I am sharing a special recipe for Garlic Mustard Quiche that is good for breakfast, dinner or sliced small for an appetizer.  This will use mustard leaves, but if you don’t have mustard greens where you are, you can substitute spinach or swiss chard.

Cheesy Garlic Mustard Quiche

1 cup chopped, steamed garlic

1 bunch mustard leaves, chopped (about 2 cups)

1 store-bought pie crust

1 diced onion

1/2 cup diced sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced muenster cheese

1/2 cup diced Monterey cheese

5 large eggs

1/2 cup 2% milk

1 clove minced garlic

1 tsp dry parsley

1/4 tsp ancho chili pepper

salt and pepper (to taste)

Hungarian sweet paprika

Directions:

Grease pie pan with extra virgin olive oil. Place pie crust in greased pie pan. Place chopped greens and garlic in the bottom of pie crust. Mix eggs, cheeses, milk, onion, chili powder, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper together in bowl. Pour mixture into the pie crust. Top with paprika. Cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees or until firm.  Serves 6

Later this month I will talk about how easy it is to make your own crust, but always remember a store-bought crust is quick easy and rather tasty.
