Ingredients

For crust:
1/2 cup, plus 2 Tablespoons gf flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
Dash of salt
1 stick of cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup gf cream cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice

For tart:
2 heads swiss chard
1 cup creme fraiche
5 Tablespoons milk
1 egg and 4 egg yolks
3/4 cup gruyere, grated
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

For crust:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease a 9" tart pan.

In a large bowl blend cornstarch, flour and salt together. Add butter and pinch together with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in cream cheese and lemon juice. Form into a dough ball. Flatten ball and roll out to fit into a 9" tart pan. (There will be dough left over. Save and use for other tarts). Prick side and bottom of crust and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

For tart:
Wash swiss chard and cut leaves off of stems; discarding leaves. Slice stems into 1/2" pieces and steam them until tender. Drain and cool.

Turn oven down to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, beat creme fraiche, milk, egg and egg yolks until smooth. Stir in cheese, cayenne pepper and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place chard on baked crust and pour creme fraiche mixture over chard.

Bake for 30 minutes, until nicely browned and custard is firm and set.
