Ingredients

• 2 cups Swiss chard (leaves and stems)
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Shallot
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly, then separate the leaves from the stems. Chop the stems into small pieces and roughly chop the leaves.

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic. Finely dice the shallot.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped Swiss chard stems and cook for 2 minutes to soften.

Step 5

Add the garlic and shallot to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the Swiss chard leaves to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly.

Step 8

Pour the whisked eggs into the heated skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 9

Sprinkle the Swiss chard mixture evenly over one half of the omelette. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 10

Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through.

Step 11

Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, cut it in half, and serve warm.
