Swiss Chard Goat Cheese Frittata Recipes

HERBY GREENS AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the eggs, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl.
• Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet. Add the onions and tomatoes, and saute until the onions are soft and the tomatoes are starting to burst, about 5 minutes. Add the greens, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper; saute for another 2 minutes.
• Turn down the heat to low and pour in the eggs. Using a rubber spatula, very gently move the eggs around a bit -- not scrambling them, just massaging them into the cracks and crevasses of the greens.
• Once the eggs start to set on the bottom, dollop with the goat cheese and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the frittata is set on top, 5 minutes.

SAUTEED SWISS CHARD WITH PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chard stems and the white wine. Simmer until the stems begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chard leaves, and cook until wilted. Finally, stir in lemon juice and Parmesan cheese; season to taste with salt if needed.

SWISS CHARD FRITTATA

Steps:

• Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a 9-inch pie plate, place tomatoes and garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, light-brown sugar, and salt. Drizzle over tomatoes and garlic and bake in the oven until tomatoes are wilted and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
• Frittata: Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees, with the rack in the upper third of the oven. Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl with a whisk. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the stems of the chard; cook until tender, 3 minutes. Add the chard leaves and stir to combine. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof spatula to gently stir and push eggs from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs begin to set, about 2 minutes.
• Scatter cooked tomatoes on top of the frittata and evenly distribute feta cheese on top. Transfer frittata to oven and cook until top is set and has puffed slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Gently run a spatula around the edges and underneath the frittata and carefully slide out of the pan onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

SWISS CHARD & GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Wash the Swiss chard; cut off stems, dice finely, and set aside.
• Chop the leaves.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick 9-inch skillet with an ovenproof handle. Add onion, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and rosemary. Sauté 10 minutes over medium heat, until the onions are very soft and just starting to brown.
• Stir in the Swiss chard leaves and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and sauté 1 to 2 minutes, or until the greens are just wilted. Remove from heat, stir in garlic and Swiss chard stems, and set aside.
• Whisk eggs in a bowl. Add the Swiss chard mixture and goat cheese, and stir to combine.
• Wash and dry the skillet and return to stove top.
• Preheat the broiler unit in the oven.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, pour in the vegetable-egg mixture and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the eggs are set on the bottom.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated broiler and broil for about 3 minutes, or until the frittata is firm and golden on top.
• Loosen the frittata from the skillet and invert onto a large round plate. Cut into wedges and serve.

SWISS CHARD AND GOAT CHEESE GALETTE

Steps:

• Slice chard stems into 1/4-inch pieces. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add the stems and onion, and cook, stirring, until slightly brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cover skillet, and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until stems are very soft, about 15 minutes. Add the vinegar, and cook, stirring, until liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat, transfer onion mixture to a nonreactive bowl; set aside.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add anchovies, if using; saute, stirring frequently, 1 minute. Add chard leaves, and saute until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in thyme; season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the goat cheese and 2 tablespoons cream. Beat mixture until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in the n utmeg; season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a large piece of parchment paper, roll out dough to a 1/4-inch-thick round, about 12 inches in diameter. Arrange onion mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 3-inch border around edge. Spread goat-cheese mixture over onion mixture, and top with the chard mixture. Sprinkle with pine nuts and golden raisins. Fold edges of dough over, and press down gently to seal. Transfer tart, on parchment paper, to a baking sheet, and refrigerate 15 minutes.
• In a small bowl, beat egg yolk with remaining tablespoon cream. Brush exposed dough with egg wash, and bake until crust is golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
