Salty feta, Swiss chard, green onions and fresh herbs form a symphony of flavours in this simple pie. Serve with a sliced tomato salad for a light supper. For mild flavour, choose chard with pale green stems or for a more robust taste, buy red-stalked chard.
1 bunch Swiss chard, or 100 oz pkg fresh spinach
2 green onions
1/4 cup finely chopped dill
1/4 cup finely chopped mint
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, optional
5 eggs
1/4 cup 3.25% milk, or 10% cream or 18% cream
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar
Preheat oven to 350°F (180C). Lightly butter a 9 inch (23 cm) pie plate or coat with cooking spray. Wash chard and leave water clinging to leaves. Place in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high just until wilted, from 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and cool. Using your hands or a kitchen cloth, squeeze out as much moisture as possible and coarsely chop. You should have about 1 cup (250 mL). Thinly slice green onions. Chop and measure out herbs.
In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs with milk until blended. Stir in chard, onions and herbs. Stir in feta and 1 cup (250 mL) cheddar. Pour into pie plate and smooth top. Sprinkle evenly with remaining cheddar.
Bake in centre of oven until top is golden and centre is set when a knife is inserted, from 40 to 45 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
