Rainbow Chard and Mushrooms baked into a perfect Rainbow Chard and Mushroom Quiche for breakfast!

Rainbow Chard and Mushroom Quiche

Last weekend I spent the majority of my time in the kitchen working on meal prep for the week and trying to come up with some new ideas for low carb meals. I am pretty much loving these low carb meals but I don’t have to be eating the same thing over and over.

I also needed something simple to have in the mornings. You all know that I’m totally not a morning person, right?

I was eating oatmeal almost every morning, while I love that, I just needed something different.

However, getting up early and cooking in the mornings before work just isn’t in the cards for me. I’m normally asleep and I don’t want to risk setting myself on fire or burning the apartment down.

Therefore I’m pretty much interested in oatmeal, cereal or meals that I can heat up in the morning.

This Rainbow Chard and Mushroom Quiche, while it may not looks picture perfect, meets my needs and I wanted to share it with you. It’s pretty low carb and it’s made with real food, as in food I can grab from my local farmer’s market haha!

Rainbow Chard and Mushroom Quiche

There are two options here”

  • Make one on the weekend for a group of people if you’re into sharing.

OR

  • make one for yourself on Sunday, cut it into wedges and munch on it for breakfast all week.

Also, since I’m doing low carb, I didn’t make a crust for this Rainbow Chard and Mushroom Quiche but if you need a crust for your quiche you can make one, of course.

I found this recipe online but I’m sure there are tons of quiche crust recipes out there.

    This looks just delicious. I know it’s a breakfast deal but I’m thinking this would be a perfect light summer dinner, say this week after I hit the Farmer’s Market!

    Oh, man! I’m in the camp of “granola for breakfast…again.” This would be a welcome change of pace. Love chard, and what a great addition to this quiche!

    That sounds wonderful! We have a ton of Swiss chard growing in our garden right now, this looks like a perfect way to put it to use!

    Every once in a while I get major cravings…like I’m “missing” something…and 99% of the time, greens quench that. This looks like the perfect way to start the day!

    It’s so pretty! And I’m not getting up early to make breakfast, either. It blows my mind that people get up and make stuff like cinnamon buns. Lol. No. 😀

    I don’t cook in the morning either BUT I’m all about this quiche. Such an easy thing to slice and heat right before you run out the door. Love the addition of chard – it’s so underrated!

    This looked so awesome I offered to make it for my sister’s backyard party. (I can’t attend.)
    She lives in a chic-rustic neighborhood with a lot of vegetarians. I thought this would appeal.
    I made it today for her event……I should have made the spinach quiche I always make, but
    this was, is, so pretty.looks amazing. I worry that there is no cream…….I also wasn’t sure what to do with the water from cooking the chard and mushrooms. I drained it off. Uh oh…….
    She will tell me how it turned out. I’ll report back.

      I hope that your sister and her friends liked it! I don’t normally have a lot of water leftover when I cook the mushrooms and chard, but I would drain it if I did. I also am not sure that I’ve ever used cream when I’ve made quiche but that’s a good idea. I’d love to try your recipe for the spinach quiche!

I love the Farmer’s Market and Farm to Table meals but I’m also not ashamed to use canned vegetables and baking mixes. It’s all about balance! I’m so glad y’all are here!
