These signature quiches achieve the perfect balance between delicious vegetables and two kinds of cheese. Whisked together with the eggs, ricotta creates a rich, fluffy base for the filling, while crumbled goat cheese adds a delightfully tangy layer on top. And in addition to earthy kale, we’re using sweet onion, caramelized for extra flavor. The quiches pair perfectly with a salad of crisp butter lettuce and aromatic chives.
Get PlansPreheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel, halve and thinly slice the onion. Peel and mince the garlic. Remove and discard the kale stems; roughly chop the leaves. Trim off and discard the root end of the lettuce; separate the leaves. Cut the chives into ½-inch pieces. Quarter and deseed the lemon. Peel and mince the shallot to get 2 tablespoons of minced shallot (you may have extra); place in a medium bowl with the juice of all 4 lemon wedges.
In a large pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add 1 tablespoon of water and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 4 minutes, or until the onion is browned and very tender. Stir in an additional tablespoon of water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic, kale and 2 additional tablespoons of water; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant and the kale has wilted. Remove from heat.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl; season with salt and pepper and beat until smooth. Whisk in the ricotta cheese and 2 tablespoons of water. Add the cooked vegetables; season with salt and pepper and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Place the pie crusts on a sheet pan, leaving them in their tins. Divide the filling between the crusts. Top with the goat cheese; season with salt and pepper. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until the crusts have browned and the filling is cooked through and lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and let stand for at least 5 minutes before serving.
While the quiches bake, season the shallot-lemon juice mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until well combined.
Just before serving, in a large bowl, combine the lettuce and chives; season with salt and pepper. Add enough of the vinaigrette to coat the salad (you may have extra). Toss to combine; season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the baked quiches with the salad on the side. Enjoy!
