Cheesy Kale Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press pie crust into a pie plate.
• Place cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until warmed, about 10 seconds. Stir cream cheese and milk together in a bowl; stir into beaten eggs. Stir Cheddar cheese into egg mixture; add kale and bacon. Pour egg mixture into the pie crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top has golden brown spots and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• If you're planning to bake this immediately, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. If you're prepping this the day before, no need to preheat now.
• In a skillet (or 4-quart braiser that you can put in the oven), heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Combine the sourdough, mozzarella, Gruyere and kale with the buttery onion mixture, either in a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish or in the braiser.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, mustard, salt, nutmeg, eggs, thyme, hot sauce and a bunch of turns of pepper. Pour into the casserole dish over the bread mixture. Top with another little sprinkle of Gruyere. Cover with foil and bake immediately or refrigerate up to 24 hours.
• Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until browned on top and set throughout, about another 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Drizzle olive oil over the kale in a large bowl and sprinkle with the nutritional yeast and salt. Stir with your hands to coat kale.
• Spread kale onto baking sheets.
• Bake in preheated oven until kale begins to get slightly crisp; rotate racks and flip the chips, and continue baking until completely crisp, 45 to 60 minutes total. Make sure to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn; if you notice certain chips ready much sooner than others, take them out.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray rectangle baking dish with nonstick spray. Melt butter and add onions to a saucepan, cook until translucent. Add kale in batches and cook until wilted. Sift flour over kale mixture. Cook 2-3 minutes then add half and half, 1 cup parmesan, and cream cheese. In another bowl combine 1 cup parmesan, panko, and spices. Sprinkle over kale in baking dish and cook 35 minutes until brown and bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heavily spray a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat (see Cook's Note) into a large, heatproof bowl. To the bacon fat, add the crushed corn flakes and Cheddar. Stir the mixture together until it starts to clump. Press the mixture into the cups of the prepared muffin pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool slightly on a baking rack in the pan.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the onions and cook until softened and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle on the mustard, salt, paprika and pepper. Stir the collard greens into the onion mixture. Continue cooking the greens, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Whisk together the half-and-half and eggs, then stir in the greens. Pour some of the egg mixture into each crust in the pan to come about three-quarters of the way up and sprinkle on the bacon. Bake until the egg has set and doesn't jiggle, 15 to 20 minutes. Set the mini quiches on a baking rack for 10 minutes to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F
• If pie crust is not pre-baked, use baking beans or weights and pre-bake crust for about 5-10 minutes, then remove from oven.
• Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute 3 minutes. Add kale strips, and saute another 3-4 minutes.
• Season this mixture with salt and pepper. Let cool.
• In a mixing bowl, mix eggs, cheese, milk, flour and liquid smoke, if using. Add imitation bacon bits and stir. Add this mixture to the kale, onion and garlic, and pour everything into the pie crust.
• Place quiche in oven and bake for 35-45 minutes or until set and nicely browned on top.
