Kale Quiche
- FOR THE CRUST:
- 1-1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 cups Butter, Chilled And Cut Into Small Pieces
- 1/4 cups Ice Water
- _____
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 1 bunch Kale
- 1/2 Tablespoons Oil
- 4 whole Eggs
- 1/4 cups Half-and-Half Or Milk
- 1/2 cups Grated Cheddar
- 1/4 cups Grated Parmesan
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Pepper
- Start by making the crust. First put a couple of ice cups in some water and set aside. Put the flour, salt and cold sliced butter into a large bowl and cut with a pastry cutter until the butter is the size of small peas. Alternatively, pulse in a food processor a few times. Add the iced water one tablespoon at a time (or drizzle into the food processor while running), only until the dough comes together and you are able to form it into a ball. It should just stay together without falling apart. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in clingfilm, and chill for at least an hour.
- For the filling, first remove the tough stalks from the kale pieces. Rinse the kale in water, and the saute with the oil for 3-5 minutes or until bright green and tender. Let cool. Add eggs, half-and-half, the cheeses, and salt and pepper to a bowl and whisk to combine. Then add the kale and mix that into the egg mixture as well.
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0F. To assemble, roll the chilled dough out into a circle and press into a lightly greased pan. Pour in the egg mixture and fold over or trim the excess dough. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until crust is light brown and filling puffed. Increase the temperature to 400u0b0F for the last 5 minutes or so if you want the crust to get more golden.
