Swiss Chard and Tomato Gratin

Ingredients

Swiss chard

1 large bunch, stems removed and leaves chopped

Tomatoes

4 medium, sliced

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Parmesan cheese

1 cup, grated

Breadcrumbs

1 cup, preferably homemade or panko for extra crunch

Salt

to taste

Pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
3. Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chard is wilted and tender.
4. Season the chard with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Grease a baking dish with olive oil. Layer half of the Swiss chard mixture evenly across the bottom.
6. Top the Swiss chard layer with half of the sliced tomatoes.
7. Sprinkle half of the breadcrumbs and half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the tomatoes.
8. Repeat the layering process with the remaining Swiss chard, followed by the rest of the tomatoes, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
9. Bake the gratin in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the gratin is bubbling.
10. Allow the gratin to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the layers set.
