Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup grated Swiss Cheese
  • 1/2 bunch Swish Chard (6 1/2 cups, washed well)
  • 1 large white onion (sliced thin)
  • 2 tsp whipped butter
  • kosher salt and fresh pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • 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.
