Ok, I'm a dork, I just saw you even have me linked on your page. Wow, you are quick!! My mom used to make a "swiss chard pie" when I was growing up. Never made it myself, but it was one of my FAV childhood recipes. I tried spinach quiche yesterday, but I should have done it different. I layered the spinach, but I should have mixed it with the egg. It is a crustless recipe though - therefore very low carb. Basically putting the cheese on the bottom of the greased pan. The cheese has been tossed with 2 tblsp of whole wheat flour. Creates a type of crust. I'm going to try to find chard here in Germany.
there really is something about chard! it just TASTES healthy!
