Swiss Chard & Mushroom Squares

Had some swiss chard in our produce box this week and made this recipe.

Ingredients:
1 bunch swiss chard, stems cut out and cut into thin ribbons and then chopped (mine was 126g after stemming) (can also use other greens)
*don't throw away the stems!! I should have a recipe on here in the next day or two for those.*
dash of salt
dash of red pepper flakes
onion powder, to taste
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 lb mushrooms, diced into small pieces
1/2 T EVOO
1/2 tsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1/2 c shredded mozzarella
1/4 c bread crumbs
4 eggs, beaten


Directions:
Bring a pot of water to a boil while you stem the chard. Wash and chop the chard. Add the chard, salt and red pepper flakes to the boiling water. Boil about 10 minutes, until chard is softened and cooked through. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Preheat oven  to 350 F.

Heat olive oil in a small skillet. Saute garlic over medium heat about 2 minutes; add mushrooms and soy sauce and saute 5-7 minutes, or until mushrooms are softened and liquid is evaporated.

Squeeze water from drained chard and place into large plastic bowl. Add mushroom mixture, shredded cheese, bread crumbs, and beaten eggs, and mix together. Spray 9 X 9" casserole dish or pie plate with non-stick spray. Pour in egg mixture.

Bake 20-25 minutes, until firmly set but not hard, and slightly browned.

Serves 4, or can be cut into 9 squares for appetizers.
