Chard Pie
Usually we make Spanakopita or Spinach Pie, but chard is an incredibly easy substitute for this incredibly delicious recipe. Uses your dill as well:
- 3 Tbs olive oil
- 2 large onions
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 pounds chard
- 1/2 cup parsley
- 1/2 cup dill
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 lb feta cheese
- 4 eggs lightly beaten
- 1/2 lb ricotta
- 1/2 cup butter (or 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup olive oil)
- 1 lb phyllo
- De-stem and chop chard.
- Saute onions in olive oil. Add chard, garlic, and herbs. Cook for 5-10 minutes until chard is wilted.
- In large mixing bowl combine nutmeg, eggs, and cheeses. Add chard mixture once cooled and mix thoroughly.
- Melt butter, if using olive oil mix that in with melted butter. Lightly brush pan with some of the butter.
- Put about 10 sheets of phyllo on the bottom of the pan, brushing each layer with the butter. Put in the cheese/chard mixture and then put another 10 sheets of phyllo on top.
- Bake in a preheated 350 oven. Bake for a half hour to 45 minutes, until phyllo is just browned.
