Swiss Chard Tart With 4 Cheeses
Holiday 2004
A rich but flavourful tart to serve for dinner or as part of a brunch menu. Use fewer varieties of cheese if desired or substitute the ones you like best.
Serves 6
1½ lb (750 g) Swiss chard, stems removed
2 tbsp (25 mL) butter
1½ cups (375 mL) sliced leeks, white and light-green part only
Salt and freshly ground pepper
3 eggs
¼ cup (50 mL) whipping cream
2 tbsp (25 mL) roasted garlic
