1 bunch swiss chard (about 1 lb.) |
6 large eggs |
1 cup milk |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1 1/4 teaspoons salt |
3/4 teaspoon pepper |
3 cups cubed ciabatta bread (about 1-inch cubes) |
1 1/2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese, divided |
1 (8-oz.) package sliced fresh mushrooms |
1 red bell pepper, chopped |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:

2. Whisk together eggs and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in bread and half of cheese.
3. Sauté mushrooms and next 3 ingredients in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 8 minutes. Stir in Swiss chard, and sauté 2 minutes. Fold vegetable mixture into egg mixture. Pour into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Reduce pepper to 1/2 tsp. Prepare recipe as directed in Step 2, adding 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley and 2 medium tomatoes, chopped, with bread.
