How to Make Tomato Chard And Gruyere Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped chard (or 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  4. Gently stir the egg mixture into the tomato and chard mixture.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Cut 1 loaf (about 1 pound) of crusty peasant bread into 1-inch cubes. Toss the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup grated Gruyère cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  7. Sprinkle the bread cubes evenly over the tomato and chard mixture.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  9. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
