Ingredients
Dough:
- 170 g flour
- 60 g cold butter
- 1 egg
- salt
- water
Filling:
- Swiss chard
- oil/fat
- 3 garlic cloves
- salt
- Herbes de Provence
- 3 eggs
- 120 ml cream
- 120 ml milk
- salt
- nutmeg
- grated Parmesan
Preparation
Combine flour, cold butter, egg, and salt. Add some water for better binding. Knead everything into a smooth dough and refrigerate covered for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop the chard and sauté in a pan with some oil or fat. Sauté the stems first, followed by the leaves, as the stems have a longer cooking time. Chop or press 3 garlic cloves and add. Season with salt and Herbes de Provence.
Place the dough into the tart pan, prick it with a fork, and pre-bake for 10 minutes at 200°C (392°F) top/bottom heat.
In the meantime, mix eggs, cream, milk, a pinch of salt, and nutmeg in a bowl.
Take out the pre-baked crust, evenly distribute the chard, and pour over the egg mixture. Finally, sprinkle with Parmesan.
Finish baking at 200°C (392°F) top/bottom heat for about 20 – 25 minutes.
