Heart-Healthy Chard and Apple Quiche Recipe

Heart-healthy Chard and Apple Quiche tastes flavorful and delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1 frozen pie shell, thawed (or make your own)
• 1 cup chopped oyster mushrooms, tough stems removed
• 1 cup ruby chard leaves, stems removed and sliced into small pieces
• 1/2 cup chopped green onions
• 1/2 cup peeled and chopped apple (I used Granny Smith)
• leaves from four sprigs of fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 15-oz. can of non-fat evaporated milk
• 1 cup of Egg Beaters or other egg substitute (or the whites separated from eight eggs)
• 1/3 cup of nutritional yeast
• black pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust on an insulated baking sheet.

Spread the apples and parsley in the pie shell. Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan, then saute the mushrooms and onions until soft. Add the chard leaves and cook until wilted. Top this mixture over the apples in the pie crust.

Whisk together the egg substitute, evaporated milk, and nutritional yeast. Pour this mixture into the pie crust. Sprinkle with pepper to taste.

Cover the edges of the pie crust with a tent of foil to prevent over-browning. Bake for 30 minutes, then carefully remove the foil and bake for 10-15 minutes more or until custard has set. Remove from the oven and allow quiche to cool for fifteen minutes before serving.
