Baked Swiss chard and gruyere pancakes

Serves 4 to 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes, plus chilling time

Cooking Time 15 to 20 minutes

Ingredients

Butter, for frying
½ cup organic cream

For the batter, blend together

3 extra-large free-range eggs
½ cup full-cream organic milk
½ cup cold water
70 g stone-ground wholemeal flour
3 T cake flour
A pinch of salt
1 T sunflower oil

For the filling

12 Swiss chard leaves
Freshly ground black pepper
200 g Swiss Gruyère, thinly sliced

Method

Chill the batter for an hour or two – if it seems too thick afterwards, thin it down with a little cold water to the consistency of pouring cream.
In a nonstick frying pan (or good-quality stainless-steel pan) over a high heat, melt the butter until hot. Pour in just enough batter to cover the base of the pan, tilting to ensure a thin, even layer.
Cook until nicely browned (reduce the heat if the pancake starts to brown too quickly, flip, then lightly brown on the other side.
Remove and cover with a tea towel. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To assemble: Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Cut out the coarse ribs from each chard leaf. Place the leaves in a large bowl and submerge in boiling water. Allow to wilt, then drain well. Dry between sheets of paper towel.
With the paler side of the pancake facing down, place a leaf on each pancake. Season with pepper (it shouldn’t need salt as the cheese is salty).
Top generously with slices of Gruyère, fold into quarters and place on a baking pan lined with baking paper. Spoon over the cream and bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp and browned.

TASTE’s take:
These pancakes are lovely and light, and the filling so easy to assemble. The chard and cheese combo is unbeatable!
