In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, and salt. Mix until you have a smooth dough.
On a clean surface, roll the dough into small logs about 2-3 cm thick. You'll be making around 20 small portions of dough.
Wash the Swiss chard leaves and pat them dry. Remove the thick stem at the base of each leaf.
Place a portion of dough onto each Swiss chard leaf and roll it up, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and diced bacon, and sauté until the onion is translucent and the bacon is crispy.
Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and carefully place the rolled capuns in the water.
Let them cook for about 10-15 minutes, ensuring they do not boil vigorously as this might cause them to unravel.
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the capuns from the pot and place them in a shallow ovenproof dish.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Pour the heavy cream over the capuns, sprinkle with grated Gruyère cheese, and add black pepper to taste.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Before serving, garnish the capuns with chopped chives and parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy this traditional nut-free Swiss delicacy.
