The thing was absolutely delicious.

I pretty much made the recipe just as it appears in the link but I used half a cup of ripe red bell pepper, 12 oz. of cooked fresh collards (boiled them till tender and then squeezed dry and chopped finer), substituted Jack cheese for the Swiss and I totally forgot about the tarragon.(yeah right, pretty much as it appears! Ha!)

It was great. Husband went back for seconds. Between us we polished off half the quiche (and I coulda et more, but I used some self control, rats!) I could not believe how rich and meaty the collards tasted.

This recipe is a keeper; I will be making it again!

So glad you liked it, mistral. Since I posted this ages ago, I've made it many times, and it

never fails to turn out delicious. I, too, sub red bell pepper for the green. Fresh collards are always best. I simmer my collards in chicken broth and add a dash of vinegar. I think the tarragon adds a nice touch to the flavor of the greens and the swiss cheese. Try it with tarragon next time, you won't be disappointed.

Yes, I could eat the whole thing, too!

 
I used those fresh collards that come packaged and ready to cook. . .

And I just cooked them in water till the ribs were tender, stirring every so often.

And I was surprised at the flavor of the red bell pepper; lately the ones I have been getting taste sweet, but not so bell-peppery, but this one was aromatic and deliciously peppery. Maybe the collards set the flavor off just right?

Any way, I was impressed at how tasty the collards were. I was sure hoping they weren't going to be bitter and they weren't! I will try it with the tarragon--I fully meant to as I have two bushes worth growing out in pots in my front yard, but I just totally forgot about it because I was rushing to get dinner in the oven before a community concert.

 
What's the protocol for T&T, Ang? Colleen liked the original version, with collards, and mistral

is happy with it, too. I LOVE it since I re-discovered it and posted it here in 2006. Don't we need three votes (besides mine) to put it in T&T? Please let me know. Thanks.

 
Marianne, I believe you are the third vote, or rather the first. You should do the honor
