Ingredients
1 large bunch swiss chard, red or green 6 ounces shredded gf mozzarella Salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter 1-1/3 cups grated parmigiano-reggiano 1 cup heavy cream
Directions
Wash swiss chard and dry with paper towels. Cut stems close to the leaves; chopping stems into a small dice.
In a large pot bring slightly salted water to a boil. Drop chard leaves in pot, a few at a time, simmering for about 2 minutes. Carefully remove leaves from pot and spread on paper towels to drain.
Cook diced stems in remaining water until tender, but not mushy (about 4 minutes).
Drain well and combine with mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread cooled chard leaves on a work surface and divide cheese mixture between leaves. Dot each with a dab of butter and sprinkle with about a tablespoon of parmigiano-reggiano. Fold leaves to contain filling.
Butter bottom of an 8"x8" casserole or baking dish. Place stuffed leaves, seam-side down in baking dish. Add heavy cream (cream should come 1/3 the way up bundles). Sprinkle with remaining parmigiano-reggiano (about 1/4 cup should be left) and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until hot, bubbly and golden on top. Serve immediately.
