I used a premade crust (no lard!), precooked beets, and used red chard instead of beet greens. I wrote out the recipe as I made it below:
Ingredients:
* 9″ store bought pie crust or make quiche crust for 8″ pan using original post’s recipe
* 250g raw (or precooked) beets, greens separated
* 1T olive oil
* 1 red onion
* 3 cloves garlic
* 2t fresh thyme (or 1t dried)
* 20 fresh mint leaves
* 100g beet greens, spinach, or a chard bunch
* 2T lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
* 1T honey
* Salt
* 3 eggs
* 120mL / 1/2C milk of choice
* 100g soft goat cheese
* 12 walnuts
* (Optional) greek yogurt to serve
Method:
If making pie crust yourself, follow dough recipe from the original post.
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Blind bake crust for 12min.
3. Peel and grate beets. Thinly slice onions. Chop garlic. Remove thyme leaves from stems.
4. Chop mint and greens and mix those two.
5. Roughly chop walnuts
6. In a large pan, cook onions in oil over medium for ~12min, salting to taste. (It is ambiguous in the original recipe if the beets should be added here.)
7. Add garlic and thyme and cook 3min.
8. Add greens mixture, salt, and cook until the greens wilt. Take off heat.
9. In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk and some salt.
10. Add slightly cooled vegetable mixture. Stir.
11. Put beets into crust.
12. Pour egg and vegetable mixture over it, leaving some of the beets exposed on the side if you want to be fancy.
13. Crumble goat cheese over top.
14. Sprinkle walnuts over the top.
15. Drop oven temp to 340F and bake for 30-45min until the center registers at least 165F (74C) on an instant read thermometer, and no more than 185F (85C).
16. Serve warm, optionally with a dollop of plain yogurt, some mint, and a drizzle of honey.

I made the beet and goat cheese quiche shared by user johnonabike! I searched for “beets” here one day and the quiche looked SO good and full of veggies. Their original post is [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/vegetarian/comments/omwhtt/beetroot_and_goats_cheese_quiche_continuing_my/) and it has pictures of the original recipe.
