HEALTHY SWISS CHARD RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine the Swiss chard, onions and 1/2 cup water in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over high heat, lower the heat to medium, cover and cook, stirring frequently, until the chard is very tender, about 15 minutes. 
• Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, nutmeg and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, whisking frequently, until the cheese melts and the mixture just bubbles around the edges. With a slotted spoon, transfer the chard to the pan with the cheese mixture (leave any excess liquid in the pot). Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the pine nuts.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F.
• In a medium bowl combine eggs, egg whites, cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Separate the stems from the leaves of the chard. Dice the stem into small pieces.
• Roll the leaves up and slice into thin ribbons, about an 1/8-inch thick.
• Heat a 10-inch skillet on low heat; melt half of the butter and add the onions with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Slowly cook the onions, stirring occasionally until the onions become translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
• Bring the heat up to medium and cook until the onions caramelize. Set the onions aside.
• Increase the heat to medium-high, add remaining butter and add the chard stems. Cook about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the chard leaves to the pan and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Reduce heat to low; pour egg mixture into the skillet and add caramelized onions, salt and pepper and mix well to blend.
• Reduce heat to low and cook until the edges set, about 6-8 minutes.
• Once the bottom and edges set, place in the oven and bake until completely set through, about 4-5 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and place a dish over the pan; flip onto the plate. Cut into wedges and serve.
