Ingredients

1 lg head Swiss chard (or other greens) about 1&3/4 pounds

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 bunch green onions, sliced 1/4 inch thick

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

4 large eggs

1 container (15 oz) part skim ricotta cheese

3/4 cup non fat milk

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9&1/2-inch deep dish glass pie plate.

Trim off two inches from swiss chard stems, discard ends. Separate stems from leaves, thinly slice stems and coarsly chop leaves.

In nonstick 12-inch skillet, heat oil until hot. Add sliced stems and mushrooms and cook 4 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add green onions, salt, and pepper and cook 1 min. Gradually add chopped leaves until wilted and excess moisture evaporates, about 5 min.

In a large bowl, with wire whisk or fork, mix eggs, ricotta, milk, parmesan and cornstarch. Stir in swill-chard mixture. Transfer mixture to pie plate.

Bake pie 40 minutes or until knife inserted 2 inches from center comes out clean. 6 main dish servings.
