Ingredients
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup)
- Milk (1/2 cup)
- Eggs (3 large)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Onion (1 medium, diced)
- Tomatoes (2 large, sliced)
- Swiss chard (4 cups, chopped)
- Pie crust (1 (9-inch) crust, store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet, stirring and cooking until wilted, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Spread the Swiss chard mixture evenly over the pie crust. Layer the sliced tomatoes on top, arranging them artfully.
- Pour the egg mixture over the tomatoes and Swiss chard, ensuring even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the tart is set in the center and the top is a beautiful golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
