Collard Greens Quiche
Southern Collard Greens Quiche is full of collards‚ ham‚ and cheese. This ultra-savory quiche is quick and easy to make and so delicious.
How To Serve Collard Greens Quiche
Collard Greens Quiche is perfect for New Year’s Day. Eating greens on New Year’s is supposed to bring prosperity in the New year. This quiche is also great to make when you have leftover Easter‚ Thanksgiving‚ or Christmas ham. It makes a great brunch‚ lunch or dinner. I love how versatile quiches are.
Can be served warm‚ room temperature‚ or chilled. I like to serve it with a side of fruit salad.
Pie Crust
I like to use a refrigerated pie crust for ease and convenience‚ but you can use a frozen pie crust or a homemade pie crust. I like this Flaky Pie Crust recipe.
Equipment Needed
9-inch Pie Plate
Pie Shield or Aluminum Foil– the pie crust may start to get too brown. Check after 25 minutes and place a pie shield on it or strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges.
Is This Quiche Spicy?
I use 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes for just a hint of spiciness. For more heat‚ double the amount of red pepper flakes or use Pepper Jack cheese instead of Colby Jack.
Recipe Tips
You want to use a cold pie crust so fit the pie crust in the pie pan and refrigerate until you are ready for it. A cold pie crust helps keep the pie crust from shrinking and slipping down the sides of the pie pan.
Spinach can be substituted for the collard greens.
Storage
Store in the refrigerator. Leftovers will keep for 5 days.
