The 3 C's were a great flavor combo in this recipe, but the base was way too dry. Not a great recipe - it was originally for a frittata, which probably explains the dryness after baking. I think I'll stick to my tried and true Trader Joe's quiche recipe as a base, and use the fun ingredients from this recipe.
Here's the recipe as it should be next time:
Makes 1 Quiche
Ingredients:
3 Eggs (2 Whites and 1 Yolk), beaten
1 small container Cottage Cheese
1 cup Cheddar or Mozzarella Cheese, grated
1 frozen Pie Crust
1 Chorizo link, quartered
1 small bundle Chard, chopped
1/2 bundle Chives, sliced
Salt + Pepper, to taste
Exclude the frozen hash browns even if trying the frittata - they made the texture weird and everything too dry.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Chop the chard and chorizo. Slice the chives.
3. Wilt the chard in a large pan over high heat until reduced, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chorizo, then take off heat after 1 minute.
Should have added in the chorizo afterwards, as I say above - cooking it together took some of the juice out of the sausage.
4. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Combine them with the shredded cheese and cottage cheese, and add salt + pepper to taste.
I made two quiches, hence the number of eggs in the picture.
5. Combine all ingredients in the bowl, and spoon into the pie crust. Bake for 1 hour.
That should do it.
