This Bacon and Swiss Chard Quiche has the most decadently creamy texture thanks to the genius inspiration of Julia Child! It’s the perfect make-ahead breakfast, brunch, or even lunch or dinner served with a side salad.
This recipe was created out of the need to use up a bunch of Swiss chard I harvested from my garden before replacing my raised beds. A friend brought over some eggs from his backyard chickens, and I had exactly four slices of bacon in my fridge, just enough heavy cream leftover from another recipe, and a random frozen pie crust in my freezer.
I LOVE when the stars collide and you have everything you need to make something delicious without having to go to the store! Especially when you can clear out space in your fridge and freezer in the process.
This recipe is a bit more complex and takes a little longer than my usual recipes, but here’s the advantage: it’s a great make-ahead meal that reheats beautifully.
