A healthy twist on a delicious anytime (or all the time) meal!

Salmon & Swiss Chard Quiche!

A delicious quiche inspired by leftovers (baked salmon) and a vegetable that I just did not know what to do with Swiss chard)! These two pare wonderfully in this crust-less quiche! With leaving the crust off we're saving the carbs for a better place than the love handles! This quiche only has 150 Calories, and 12g of protein per serving, thus just about completely guilt free!

Alright, so let's get started, first you will need the following:

1 Cup Raw Chopped Swiss Chard (Not Packed)       

1 Filet Salmon -Baked De-boned and Chopped.

(If you're not a fan of salmon feel free to replace with a cooked meat of your choice)

5 Eggs

3 Tsp Minced Garlic      

1 Cup Chopped Yellow Onion 

½ Cup Crumbled Feta

½ Tsp Ground Black Pepper             

1 Tbs Olive Oil

Start by lightly greasing (I use Pam cooking spray) a 9" Pie pan. 

Then heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook them while stiring occasionally until they have softened. Add in the salmon and cook until heated through (if starting cold), otherwise until mixed well. 

Stir in the chopped swiss chard and continue cooking until the chard has wilted.

Next...

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, feta cheese, and black pepper.

Add spinach mixture and stir to blend. 

(Best to not think of what this resembles)

At this point it is looking quite unappetizing, but it get's much better from here!

You're almost there!

Scoop this mixture into the greased pie pan, and you're ready for the oven! 

Now, for the hardest part of all, the wait! 

You've got 30 minutes for it to go from vom to nom...

At this point you're place should be smelling quite wonderful. Anyone who does not like salmon may disagree. 

The final result should quite similar to this... now make sure you wait for it too cool a bit! 

This is another one that I like served with a small side of plain fat free greek yogurt and some salsa or hot sauce. If you want to be really naughty though try it covered with a lemon hollandaise sauce, it is wonderful!
