Swiss Chard and Goats Cheese Quiche (using Soy Cream)

Yup it's time for another seasonal recipe, and this time we're focusing on beautiful Swiss Chard. Swiss Chard comes in different colours and looks absolutely incredible. It's also incredibly tasty, very much like spinach, but even better in my book. It's also very easy to grow and is a nice source of fresh greens at this time of the year. It brings colour, texture and freshness to the winter diet and it's very good used in a quiche. And quiches are so very easy to make, the pastry of course can be bought in most supermarkets and then you can choose whatever seasonal ingredients are available, and we often also use leftovers in it. Even though a quiche is normally made with ordinary cream, we're using Soy Cream for this recipe. One reason being that I myself have a cow's milk intolerance, so I can't use ordinary creeam that often. But I do love a good quiche and was looking for a cream substitute and have used Alpro Soy Cream for this recipe, which is very versatile, easy to use and it keeps very long in the fridge. The texture of this quiche is a bit more eggy, you could only use 2 instead of 3 eggs if you prefer your quiche being creamy. All in all it's a very easy and versatile recipe, perfect for customising. And do consider using soy cream, as it is perfect for people who are lactose intolerant and such, but it's just a nice ingredient in general.

Thanks for watching!!!
