Swiss chard in bechamel is a childhood favorite and adding truffle oil makes it an instant adult favorite!

That looks really good. I have never had truffle and I have not been able to find it… It sounds like it would be good without the truffle as well.

Oh why didn’t you post this back in May when I was getting chard every week in my CSA???

Omg, I know what you mean.

When ever I go to a steakhouse, I’m usually craving the sides. However, they’re always overly loaded with butter and or cheese that it just unbelievable! But I eat it anyways, sadly..

You dish looks like a delicious side that I’d eat anytime ;P

Manggy, yea a little over-the-top. I guess I could have topped it off with some Beluga caviar and gold leaf, but I’m on a budget;-)

Peter G, everything is relative right? And this looks like an undressed salad next to creamed spinach… or at least that’s what I tell myself;-)

Noble Pig, yea i think I’m with you at heart, but something about eating cream and butter with a sprinkling of vegetables just sounds wrong…

Syrie, I just used cheapo white truffle infused olive oil from Whole Foods.

Heather, that sounds about right. Maybe even tantric if you used cream;-)

Courtney, I think chard has some of it’s own umami, it definitely has more texture and flavour than spinach.

I agree with the sides offered. This looks incredible.I have just really discovered chard this year and I can say I much prefer it over spinach.

zomg I must try this! I make a gratin from my greens all the time, but this seems, I dunno, more orgasmic? Win.
