Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
3/4 cup toasted wheat germ
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound Swiss chard (1 large bunch), leaves chopped, stems minced
1/2 medium onion, minced
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese (2 ounces)
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground mustard powder
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, wheat germ, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside. In a medium skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium. Add half the chard to skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until chard wilts and releases liquid. Wipe skillet, set aside..
