Stinging Nettle Crustless Quiche

Stinging Nettle Crustless Quiche is savory, with 3 kinds of cheese (shredded Parmesan, Cheddar, and Mozzarella), foraged, local Stinging Nettles (Urtica dioica), and local farm eggs. (gluten-free, vegetarian)

Stinging Nettles are unique on their own but I would say they are most similar to spinach or another leafy, green vegetable (think kale, Swiss chard, turnip or beet greens, etc.).

YIELD: 12

– 1 cup cooked sauteed Stinging Nettles – 1 cup half and half (or substitute the same amount heavy cream) – 3 large eggs – 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Pour the quiche filling into the prepared crust in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese evenly on top of the quiche batter before baking.
