Swiss Chard Tart
Nothing tastes and smells better than a warm tart right out of the oven! If you get this in the oven just before your guest arrive, everyone will sit down to dinner after a bit of visiting with their appetites fully awakened. A light salad to accompany and you’ve got a lovely summer dinner.
