Baked Swiss Chard

Ingredients

• 1 kg Swiss chard
• Salt
• 250 g Cherry Tomatoes
• 80 g goat cream cheese
• 2 stems thyme
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 lemon
• 1 tsp liquid honey
• Pepper
• 0.5 whole‑grain baguette

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash and trim the Swiss chard, removing the tough stems (save them for another use).

2. 2.

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil, season with salt, and blanch the leaves for 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and transfer the leaves to an ovenproof dish.

3. 3.

   Rinse the tomatoes and halve them; cube the goat cheese and scatter both over the chard.

4. 4.

   Wash the thyme, shake off excess moisture, and pluck the small leaflets.

5. 5.

   Sprinkle thyme over the chard, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 °C (or 150 °C fan‑forced) for about 10 minutes until the cheese begins to melt.

6. 6.

   Meanwhile, squeeze half a lemon. Mix 1 tbsp lemon juice with honey and the remaining oil. Drizzle over the vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and serve with baguette slices.
