Preparation of the filling
To prepare a delicious filling for the chard pascualine, The first thing you should do is wash the leaves very well with plenty of water. Cut the stalks and reserve them, as they can be used for another recipe. While you prepare the filling, place the eggs in a small jug to boil.
Cut and chop the onion, bell pepper and garlic very small. Meanwhile, in a frying pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and bell pepper.
Then, add the cut chard leaves and the chopped garlic. Stir for a few minutes until the leaves take on the temperature and flavor of the chopped vegetables.
Keep in mind that the volume of the filling is usually reduced because the chard releases its juice and reduces its size. Then, remove the pan from the heat and add the grated cheese, the cream and the 2 chopped hard-boiled eggs. Salt and pepper to taste. Don’t forget to grate nutmeg, as it is the condiment that gives the typical flavor to this cake.
Place the chard mixture on the pan and fold all the edges of the dough towards the center so that it contains the filling. Remember that this is a chard pie without lid with a single mass. But, if you prefer the filling to be more protected, you can place the top cover on it.
The site recommends placing some cubes of cheese, sinking them a little so that they remain inside the filling. Bake it at 200°C for 20 to 25 minutes until the dough is well cooked and lightly golden.
