Serves 6 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet, stirring and cooking until wilted, approximately 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
  6. Spread the Swiss chard mixture evenly over the pie crust. Layer the sliced tomatoes on top, arranging them artfully.
  7. Pour the egg mixture over the tomatoes and Swiss chard, ensuring even distribution.
  8. 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.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

  • 💡 For a twist, consider adding crumbled feta or goat cheese along with the Parmesan for a tangy flavor.
  • 💡 You can also add herbs such as thyme or basil to the egg mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
  • 💡 This tart can be made ahead of time and served cold, making it a great option for picnics or potlucks.
