Cheesy Swiss chard dip: A simple and delicious crowd-pleaser for any party!
Ingredients:
  • 1 large bunch Swiss chard (about 1 lb)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 container (5.2 oz) garlic-and-herbs spreadable cheese, softened
  • 1 log (4 oz) chèvre (goat) cheese with herbs, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (8 oz)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Pita chips or crackers, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and generously coat an 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Remove stems and ribs from Swiss chard, chop them, and coarsely chop the leaves; set aside.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, warm the oil over medium heat. Saute the onion for 5 minutes until tender. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in the chopped Swiss chard stems and ribs, saute for 2 minutes, then pour in the water. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes until the chard starts to soften. Finally, mix in the chopped Swiss chard leaves, cover, and cook for 4-6 minutes until wilted and tender. Drain any excess liquid before serving.
  • Combine cream cheese, garlic-and-herbs cheese, goat cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, 1 1/2 cups of Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth. Gently fold in Swiss chard mixture. Transfer mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese before baking.
  • Bake without a cover for 25-30 minutes until it's bubbling. Enjoy it warm with some pita chips.
