Directions
Swiss Chard Quiche,Vacherin Cheese is made in the Valais region of Switzerland – it is semi-hard, with a coarse, greasy brown rind and a pale yellow paste with a scattering of holes. It has a rich nutty flavour, a little like Italian fontina. Food.com must have never heard of Vacherin cheese (wouldn’t let me list as such), so I listed as Fontina. The original recipe comes from the Seattle Times, March 2011.,Excellent dish. used rainbow chard, fontina cheese and a generic deep dish pie crust because that’s all that was available; but followed everything else to the letter. Oddly when I tasted the raw chard, it was bitter and irritated my throat. Who cares about all that because when I finished cooking, I had a delicious dish that my family raved about. Actually they couldn’t believe I made it. I wanted to take a picture but they ate it all. It actually looked exactly like the one the other person made. NOTE: I had more filling than the pie crust would support, so I bought some tiny shells and cooked a little more bacon and added a bell pepper and that turned out great too. Thanks for sharing!,Looking for something to use some rainbow chard in and this was the winner in all ways! Made as a crust less, used Gouda, with some Parmesan, Romano thrown in. lemon thyme and a bit of parsley from the garden, otherwise followed recipe. More than filled a shallow 10″ so made a small dish extra for appetizer till the main event. My hubby has not been a big quiche eater in past helped himself to 3rds! This is a major keeper and will be appearing frequently while chard is available, then will try with spinach. THANKS for this wonerful and versatile recipe!
