2. Prep Swiss Chard Properly: Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Chop the leaves roughly to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the eggs.
3. Season Generously: Don’t be shy with seasoning. Swiss chard and eggs benefit from a good amount of salt, pepper, and other herbs like garlic or thyme to enhance their natural flavors.
4. Use High-Quality Cheese: Opt for a good-quality cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère or aged cheddar. This will add a rich, creamy texture to the gratin and elevate the taste.
5. Ovenproof Skillet: Use an ovenproof skillet or a baking dish to cook the gratin. This allows you to transfer it directly from the stovetop to the oven, saving time and reducing dishes.
6. Golden Brown Finish: To achieve a beautiful golden brown top, you can broil the gratin for a couple of minutes at the end. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Enjoy this Egg and Swiss Chard Gratin hot from the oven, and delight in a healthy, satisfying meal that’s as nutritious as it is tasty!
