I discovered eggplant involtini via Chad Robertson's Tartine Bread. I wrote about this adaptation for Food52 but have posted the recipe here, too, because I love it so much. Note: I like the addition of the chard but know that you can make these with a simple seasoned ricotta if that's more appealing: Just season the ricotta with salt, lemon zest, and thyme (if you have it) to taste. The dish can be assembled ahead and stashed in the fridge until you are ready to bake it.
