Swiss Chard Casserole With Shitakes Recipes

SAUSAGE AND TALEGGIO CASSEROLE WITH SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a 10-inch cast-iron or straight-sided pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage pieces and break apart further with a wooden or firm spoon. Brown the sausage for about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion and garlic. Cook to let soften, about 2 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and return the heat to medium-high. Cook about 4 minutes, then add the Swiss chard. Season with salt and pepper.
• Continue to cook the mixture until the Swiss chard is fully softened, about 6 minutes longer. Stir in the parsley.
• Turn off the heat and fold in the eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the pieces of Taleggio on top of the eggs and transfer to the oven to bake just until set and the Taleggio is melted and bubbling, about 10 minutes.

CASSEROLE OF SWISS CHARD AND GRUYERE

Steps:

• Rinse the swiss chard, drain it and chop it fine.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet. Add the onion, saute over medium heat until tender but not brown, then stir in the garlic. Add the scallions and tomatoes, then add the chopped swiss chard. Cook for about 15 minutes, until the swiss chard has wilted.
• Remove from heat, stir in all but two tablespoons of the cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spoon the swiss chard mixture into a one-quart casserole. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake for about 30 minutes, then serve.
