Really easy recipe!

for the crust, combine 2 c flour in a bowl with 1 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/2 cup water, mix to form a dough - with floured fingers, press into a pie plate. Chill for 1 hour in the fridge.

In a pan, saute a chopped medium onion in a few tbsp olive oil until wilted - meanwhile, chop the leaves from 1 pound of swiss chard (if it is young and tender, include the stems as well). Add the chard to the onion and saute for 4 min or so until the greens are wilted and tender. Add 1/2 tsp salt, some fresh basil and black pepper. Take off the heat.

In a bowl, mix 1/3 cup half and half or cream, 3 large eggs and 1 cup of grated Parmesan Reggiano. Add the chard/onion mix , stir well. Pour into the pastry shell - bake at 375 for 45 min. Let sit for 10 min to set...yum. Best use for chard we've found!
