Ingredients:
2 pounds swiss chard leaves, washed and drained
1 small onion, chopped in ¼-inch pieces
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg
Dash ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 8- or 9-inch pie shell, chilled or frozen

Preheat oven to 375F. Remove any tough stems from chard. Slice across leaves into ½-inch strips.

Sauté onions in butter until golden. Add garlic and chard. Cook with occasional stirring for about 5 minutes, All the liquid should evaporate. Set aside and cool to room temperature.
