This Swiss Chard Tomato Quiche is a delicious vegetarian, gluten-free main dish that works well for a healthy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Eating during the holidays is one of life’s great pleasures. But for people with food allergies and sensitivities, it can be tricky to navigate all the great food options we see during the holiday season. I gave up dairy completely for a couple years after learning that I was highly sensitive to casein. Now I’m able to enjoy dairy occasionally, and I appreciate it more than ever.

One of the most common food sensitivities is lactose intolerance. Fortunately, people with this condition can still enjoy food that contains milk by using lactose-free milk. The Southeast Dairy Association has challenged Recipe ReDux members to create holiday recipes using lactose-free cow’s milk. This milk isn’t very different from regular cow’s milk. In fact, the only difference is that it tastes a little sweeter. Lactose-free milk is made by adding a lactase enzyme to real milk, which breaks down the lactose into simple sugars.

This colorful quiche is a wonderful entrée for a holiday brunch. No one will ever know it doesn’t include “regular” milk. It can be served warm out of the oven, or you can make it ahead of time and serve it at room temperature. Made without a crust, this is a great gluten-free, lactose-free alternative that will please any crowd.

Author: Annemarie Rossi

Ingredients

  • 10 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups lactose-free milk or milk of choice
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 4 cups torn Swiss chard leaves
  • 4 scallions chopped finely
  • 2 cup sliced plum tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease 2 8-inch pie pans.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix the eggs, milk, and salt on medium speed until well-combined. I use my KitchenAid Stand Mixer rather than mixing by hand because it beats the eggs more evenly.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the Swiss chard. Cover and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, until just beginning to wilt.
  • Divide the scallions, Swiss chard, and tomatoes evenly between the two pie pans. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, dividing it evenly between the two pans.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the eggs are set.
  • Let the quiche sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    I love Green onions (scallions) with eggs! It such a fresh flavour 🙂
    Have you tired this with red onions?
    Can’t wait to try this 🙂

      Thanks, Megan! I haven’t tried this with red onions, but I think it would taste great. I tend to use whatever kind of onion I have on hand when making quiche – shallots, chives, scallions, red onions, white onions. . .they’re all fair game.

    Heck, I’m not waiting for the holidays to make this one! So pretty yet so simple (and a dash of my favorite spice – smoked paprika.) Thanks for participating!

      Thanks, Deanna. I never make a quiche without smoked paprika – I think it’s the perfect spice for eggs.
