Grated Gruyere cheese melts among ribbons of leafy Swiss chard and slices of Canadian bacon and potato. The dish bakes until the cheese on top is a crusty golden brown.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 pound swiss chard, large stems removed, leaves cut crosswise into approximately 1-inch ribbons

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper

1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes (about 2), peeled and cut into approximately 1/8-inch slices

1/4 pound gruyere cheese, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)

1/2 pound sliced canadian bacon

2/3 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock

DIRECTIONS

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderately low heat. Add the Swiss chard and cook until starting to wilt, about 1 minute. Stir in the garlic and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook until no liquid remains in the pan, about 2 minutes.

Butter an 8-by-8-inch baking pan or similarly sized gratin dish. Layer one third of the potatoes in the dish and top with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper, a third of the cheese, and half the Canadian bacon. Spread the Swiss chardin a single layer. Top with half the remaining potatoes and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Spread half the remaining cheese and the remaining Canadian bacon over the potatoes. Add the remaining potatoes to the dish, sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and top with the remaining cheese and 1 tablespoon butter. Pour the chicken broth over all.

Cover the gratin with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes longer. Let stand 2 to 3 minutes before cutting.

Great recipe, but a touch salty

The Swiss-ham/bacon combo is a classic and the chard tweaks it in an interesting, healthy way, but I'd omit the 1/2 tsp. of salt; there's more than enough in the cheese, meat (any type of processed pork will do), and broth to carry the recipe. I'm going to substitute a light beer for the broth and maybe cheddar for Swiss cheese to see where that leads (query if the chard will remain), but this is a good receipe in itself that leads to several other possibilities.
