Creamed Swiss chard is a simple variation on classic creamed spinach. Don't forget the nutmeg: a dash of the stuff adds a dimension of flavor to the creamy sauce that pulls this entire dish together.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think it would have been better with a lighter sauce.

The Swiss chard was a bit tough in this recipe. I think it would have been better if it had been cooked for a shorter amount of time.
