Steps:
- Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a 9-inch pie plate, place tomatoes and garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, light-brown sugar, and salt. Drizzle over tomatoes and garlic and bake in the oven until tomatoes are wilted and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
- Frittata: Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees, with the rack in the upper third of the oven. Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl with a whisk. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the stems of the chard; cook until tender, 3 minutes. Add the chard leaves and stir to combine. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof spatula to gently stir and push eggs from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs begin to set, about 2 minutes.
- Scatter cooked tomatoes on top of the frittata and evenly distribute feta cheese on top. Transfer frittata to oven and cook until top is set and has puffed slightly, about 15 minutes.
- Gently run a spatula around the edges and underneath the frittata and carefully slide out of the pan onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Wash the chard thoroughly; put in a large kettle and steam over medium heat in the water that clings to the leaves. Cover pot while steaming. When chard is tender, after about 10 minutes, drain, reserving liquid for another use, like making a broth, and coarsely chop the tender leaves.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Put the butter and oil in a saute pan, a straight-sided quiche pan or a shallow baking dish that can go in the oven. When the butter has melted and the foam begins to subside, add the minced shallots and saute briefly until they are translucent but not brown. Add chopped chard and mix well. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl combine eggs, cream, salt and pepper and beat thoroughly. Pour this batter over the chard, lifting edges of the chard with a fork to let batter run underneath. Dot the top with cheese cubes and put in middle of oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove and let cool slightly. To serve, cut into squares or wedges.

SWISS CHARD FRITTERS
This recipe, adapted from "Jerusalem," by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi, appeared in The Times in 2012 as part of a Hanukkah food article. It is packed with fragrant dill and cilantro, and studded with feta. The fritters would go well with smoked salmon and a little yogurt, or a garlicky spread of beets, dill, walnuts and horseradish that pulls from the Ashkenazi tradition. Either way, they are a great vegetable counterpoint to the starchier dishes of Hanukkah. They cook fast, and should be served warm.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add chard and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from pot and drain well, patting leaves dry with a paper or kitchen towel.
- Place chard in food processor with herbs, nutmeg, sugar, flour, garlic and eggs. Pulse until well blended. Fold in feta by hand.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, spoon in 1 heaping tablespoon of mixture for each fritter (you should be able to fit three fritters per batch).

Serve warm, with lemon wedges (optional).

Steps:
- Trim coarse leaves and thick center ribs from chard; cut tender stems and leaves into 1/2-inch slices.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet; add bread crumbs; cook, stirring often, until crisp and golden; remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cool skillet slightly; add remaining oil and garlic; cook, stirring, 2 minutes; add chard and cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes; add tomatoes, salt, and red pepper flakes to taste.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle bread crumbs over the top.
Tips for Making the Perfect Swiss Chard and Tomato Frittata:
- Use fresh, young Swiss chard for the best flavor and texture. - Remove the stems from the Swiss chard and chop them separately; they take longer to cook than the leaves. - Wilt and lightly sauté the Swiss chard and stems until they're softened but still have a bit of a bite. - Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the frittata; otherwise, it won't cook evenly. - Use a good quality, flavorful cheese for the filling. A blend of Parmesan and cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other favorites like mozzarella, feta, or Gruyère. - For a crispy bottom and fluffy interior, cook the frittata in a well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. - Don't flip the frittata during cooking; otherwise, it may fall apart. Instead, cover the pan and let it cook until the top is set and the edges are golden brown. - Finish the frittata by broiling it for a few minutes until the top is bubbling and browned. - Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it hold together better.Conclusion:
This Swiss chard and tomato frittata is an easy and delicious way to enjoy the flavors of summer. Packed with fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and eggs, it's a perfect meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Plus, it's a great way to use up any leftover Swiss chard or tomatoes you may have on hand. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal that's both healthy and satisfying, give this frittata a try!
