Description
A delicious Swiss Chard Pie perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large bunch Swiss chard leaves, chopped (see notes)
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 6 oz. goat cheese (see notes)
- 1/2 cup half and half (see notes)
- 8 eggs
- to taste salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Mozzarella
- 4 T grated Parmesan (preferably freshly grated)
Instructions
- Remove goat cheese from the fridge and it will finish cooking in the oven. Turn off heat and let the chard cool a little.
- Then mix the goat cheese and half and half mixture, Mozzarella, and 2 T of Parmesan into the eggs. Stir in the wilted Swiss chard and onions.
- Pour the mixture into a nine-inch Springform Pan (affiliate link) or use a round casserole dish that you’ve sprayed with olive oil or nonstick spray.
- Sprinkle the coarse ground Parmesan over the top.
- Bake at 350F/180C for 45-50 minutes, or slightly longer if you use a casserole dish that’s smaller than nine inches across. (I tested with a toothpick to make sure the center was done.)
- Serve the Swiss Chard Pie hot, for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.
Notes
- Be sure to chop the Swiss chard leaves finely for even cooking.
- Use freshly grated cheese for the best flavor.
- You can substitute kale or spinach if Swiss chard is unavailable.
