Quiche sin base, cargada de col rizada

Ingredientes

• 5 large eggs
• 3 T. all-purpose flour
• 1 cup crème fraîche (see recipe below)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 T. fresh thyme*, finely chopped
• 1 to 3 cups** uncooked coarsely chopped kale or chard or mustard greens, etc

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

2. 2

   Place 1 egg and the flour in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Whisk in the remaining 4 eggs until blended.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, whisk the crème fraîche until smooth. Whisk in the milk. Pour the egg mixture through a fine mesh sieve held over the milk mixture. Whisk in the salt, pepper and thyme (or other herb).

4. 4

   Pile your greens into a pie plate. Pour the egg mixture over the greens, then press the greens down with a spatula so they are submerged in the custard. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325ºF and bake until the filling is just set, about 30 minutes longer. The center of the quiche should still feel slightly firm, rather than liquidy, when touched. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes to allow the custard to set up, so that it will slice neatly. It can be served warm or at room temperature. To serve a fully cooled quiche warm, cover it with aluminum foil and reheat it in a 325ºF for about 15 minutes.
