Chard and Sweet Corn Gratin image

This is the template that I use for most of my main-dish vegetable gratins. I like gratins hot, warm or at room temperature. I fold the aromatic vegetable filling into a mixture of eggs beaten with milk, salt, pepper and cheese, usually Gruyère, and then add rice or, in this case, corn.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 generous bunch (3/4 to 1 pound) Swiss or rainbow chard, stemmed and washed
Salt
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Black pepper
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 to 3 ounces Gruyère, grated (1/2 to 3/4 cup), to taste
Kernels from 2 cooked ears sweet corn (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
1 ounce Parmesan, grated (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin.
  • Blanch chard: Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you stem and wash the chard leaves. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add chard leaves. (Set aside stems for another use, or discard.) Blanch 1 to 2 minutes, until tender but still bright. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, then drain thoroughly and squeeze out excess water; chop medium-fine.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet and add garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, then stir in rosemary, thyme and chopped blanched chard. Season with salt and pepper and stir over medium heat until chard is nicely coated with oil, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir in chard mixture and Gruyère. Stir in corn and mix well. Scrape into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan over top and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until nicely browned on the top and sides. Allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.

This gratin was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

This gratin was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would make it again, but I would use less cheese.

I'm not a big fan of chard, but this gratin was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the corn balanced out the bitterness of the chard perfectly.
