Creamed Swiss Chard with Shallots and Nutmeg image

Swiss chard, a member of the beet family, has bumpy, dark-green leaves and white or red stalks and veins. We use green chard with white stems in this recipe since the bright red stems often bleed their color.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this dish turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

I made this dish with goat cheese instead of Parmesan cheese and it was delicious! The goat cheese added a nice tangy flavor.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I would recommend using less cream or milk.

I made this dish with kale instead of Swiss chard and it was delicious! The kale was a bit more bitter than the Swiss chard, but it still worked well in this recipe.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. The only change I made was to add a little bit of garlic. I will definitely be making this again.
