Slightly adapted from Food52. Note: If possible, get your hands on some good, tender Swiss chard for this recipe. We've been getting beautiful chard from our CSA as well as from the Niskayuna Co-op, which carries chard from Hope Valley Farm. Farmers' markets, obviously, are a great source. Bread crumbs: Once, when I made this, I was out of bread — the horror! — and I used two English muffins instead. Worked like a charm.
