It's Springtime, so that means my chickens are laying their butts off (hee hee) and the Swiss Chard (aka Silverbeet) is growing like crazy. What to do? Make quiche! I make a large amount of this in a big roasting pan, then freeze individual pieces in ziplocs. It's great cold or hot: for those nights I just don't feel like cooking, for taking to work for lunch or on road trips (just out of the freezer and into the lunch bag), or for leaving in the freezer for later in the year when there's a dearth of eggs and chard.
