This recipe is a great addition to our quick and easy weeknight dinner rotation. I also happen to love quiche and love adding new and interesting ingredients to it.
The quinoa definitely gives this a different texture and makes this dish amazing served hot or cold!
First cook your quinoa according to package directions. I cooked 2 cups of quinoa in water and it was the perfect amount for this dish. No leftovers. Set the cooked quinoa aside.
Chop about 2-3 Cups of washed Kale. Set this aside as well.
In a large saucepan, caramelize 1 thinly slice onion with some olive oil, salt and pepper.
Once Onion is nicely caramelized add 2 Cloves minced garlic and your kale. Season and lower the heat. The Kale only needs a couple minutes to soften up.
Add your cooked quinoa to the kale and onions.
And add 1 cup shredded Cheddar and 1 small package (about 1/4 cup) of fresh goat cheese. Mix really well.
Pour about 6 large eggs over your mixture and combine. Pour into a oven proof pie dish and bake at 350F until quiche has puffed up and eggs are slightly browned on top (about 30 Minutes)
Slice and serve!
looks awesome jenny! can't wait to try it :)
