Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Swiss chard (leaves and stems)
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium Shallot
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Butter
Instructions
Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly, then separate the leaves from the stems. Chop the stems into small pieces and roughly chop the leaves.
Peel and mince the garlic. Finely dice the shallot.
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped Swiss chard stems and cook for 2 minutes to soften.
Add the garlic and shallot to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the Swiss chard leaves to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the whisked eggs into the heated skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the Swiss chard mixture evenly over one half of the omelette. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, cut it in half, and serve warm.
