Crustless Swiss Chard and Goat Cheese Quiche
This quiche uses potatoes on the bottom in place of the crust. Swiss chard sauteed with garlic give the egg custard more flavor and texture. Goat cheese on top gives lovely bursts of flavor, very tasty.

Meanwhile, heat oil in large pot over medium heat.
