Ingredients

    1 bunch (5 cups chopped) swiss or rainbow chard
    10 large eggs
    1.5 cups shredded 2% milk cheese (I used Kraft 2% cheddar for the nutrition stats)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Thoroughly wash the chard. Trim stems and place into a large skillet with 1/2 cup of water over a medium heat. While the stems cook, chop the leaves into 1 1/2-2" wide strips. After the stems have cooked for about 2-3 minutes, add the chopped leaves. Add another cup of water and cover with a lid. Allow the chard to steam another 3-5 minutes or until tender and wilted. Remove from heat.

Place the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk until all yolks are beaten. Spray a 9'' x9" pan with Pam and press the chard into the pan in an even layer on the bottom. Sprinkle the cheese in an even layer over the chard. Pour the eggs on top of the chard and cheese. Place the pan in the oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes (check every ten minutes until the eggs appear fluffy and golden brown.

Makes 5-6 servings.

    I made just HALF the recipe [didn't have enough chard] and used a smaller pan. Totally fantastic! I make frittatas all the time, on top of the stove, and this was FAR EASIER. Thanks for the inspiration. PS: I will use other veggies too, next time I make this! - 9/22/10

    My husband, who only likes bologna and hot dogs, ate three pieces of this, and raved about it to his friends!

    I added spinach because I was low on rainboew chard, and also used up some Portobello mushroos. I also added a couple of cloves of smashed garlic to the veggies.

    Very Good
    I used this recipe for my first time eating rainbow chard.Before baking, I topped it off with some leftover diced smoked kielbasa. It was delicious! - 3/7/13
