Thanks for submitting this recipe, Shannon! I was wondering if you would mind linking back to the in-season recipe swap as well. Thank you!

We do a quiche just like this, but we use Swiss cheese. It’s fantastic!

I won’t have turnips in my garden again until winter. The greens on mine are spiny; they are easier to eat in something instead of on their own.

I like spinach (raw or cooked) and swiss chard (cooked), but I only have chard growing in my garden now.

I put some turnip greens in my minestrone soup in winter, but I never thought to try them out in a quiche!

Sounds delish! I have found turnip greens, mustard greens, and chard pretty interchangeable in recipes. I have made a fabulous Chard & Feta Pie recipe from Jesse Ziff Cool’s book, Your Organic Kitchen. I’ve made the same recipe using other greens w/great success. If using kale, it’s best to parboil the kale or cook it longer because it has tougher leaves.

regarding your comment on my blog, yes! I used to be the one that coveted what others had – clothes, cars, especially nice homes. I am so glad that I grown away from that. Our church does talk on contentment a lot. I’m glad for that.

This looks great! I always need new quiche recipes to liven things up.

Laryssa – this would definitely work with chard. I use greens interchangeably in cooked recipes such as this. Chard is a little less hardy so it wilts down a bit more like spinach.

This sounds great! Do you think it would work with chard as well? We are trying this new to us veggie and I’m trying to figure out kid friendly ways of fixing it. I wilted it and dressed it with salt and live oil. It was good, but very strong.
