Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Roll out the pastry to a £1-coin thickness and line a 23cm, loose-based tart tin. Line with a circle of baking paper and fill with baking beans. Cook for 10 minutes then take out the beans and paper and cook for another 10 minutes. Turn the oven down to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
  2. Heat a knob of butter in a pan and cook the onions until completely softened. Add the Swiss chard stalks first and cook for 3 minutes then add the leaves and keep cooking until tender. Season and cool. Mix together the eggs, cream and cheeses and season well. Spread the chard and onion over the base of the tart and pour the egg mix over. Cook for 20-30 minutes until the filling is just set.

Know-how

Swiss chard goes well in creamy, cheesy dishes. The stems need be cooked a little longer than the leaves so separate them before you start. Look for perky green leaves when buying.

    I've never made a tart before and wanted to try one. This one is easy and tastes great. I've now made it a few times and substituted the chard for other leafy veg.

    My father-in-law hates vegetarian food, but he has asked to have this again! It is really delicious, easy to make and works just as well with spinach as chard. It's also really nice cold.

    Just made this for lunch and accidentely forgot to put the cheese in the mixture, the wine may have had an influence!!! But, I put it on top instead and it was DELICIOUS! We had mixed chard from our veg box too so very colourful. Only 1 slice left for cold tomorrow though!
