Quiche O'Greens

                                                Here is Robert's lovely Quiche O'Greens!

 The kids LOVED this!

Quiche O' Greens
Greens (enough for two quiches):
1 lg bunch of greens (kale, mustard and turnip greens, Swiss chard, etc)
1 onion, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, minced (or scapes, or green garlic)
1 T olive oil

Quiche (you need to double for two, I like to prepare each custard individually):
3 strips of turkey bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled
1/4 to 1/2 c of shredded cheese (I like to combine different kinds)
4 eggs
2 c whole milk or combo of milk and cream equiv to  2 cups
1/2 t salt
a couple twists of Trader Joe's South African Smoke Seasoning Blend
1/4 t ground nutmeg
1 c greens, drained

Your favorite pie crust recipe or use pre-made placed in 9 in. pie pan.

1. Pre-heat the oven to 425 F. Saute onions and garlic for a few minutes in olive oil. Add greens and cook while preparing other ingredients.
2. Cook bacon and let cool while preparing quiche.
3. Add eggs, milk, salt, seasoning, and nutmeg to a large bowl. Whisk until well blended.
4. Mix in greens and crumbled bacon.
5. Sprinkle crust with 1/4 to 1/2 c of shredded cheese.
5. Pour custard mixture into pie crust.
6. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn heat down to 350 F and bake for 30 minutes or until eggs are set and golden brown.
7. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Serve either warm or cold.
