Crustless Swiss Chard Quiche

Looking for a breakfast or brunch option for your Swiss chard, then here you go: Crustless Swiss Chard Quiche.

Unlike traditional quiche, this recipe is a bit lighter in the fat and carbs department with the removal of the crust and heavy cream.

For the shredded cheese - it’s your call - you can use Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan, Asiago, Reggiano or a combination. Experiment!
