As April draws to a close, we find ourselves simultaneously enjoying the tail end of last year’s garden – leeks which I overwintered with a deep layer of autumn leaf mulch – and the very beginnings of this year’s garden – chives, green onions and chard.
Potato and Leek Gratin:
Eggs baked in garden chard
In this version of this recipe, chard replaces the zucchini/squash, and the whole thing is put together like the country-grandma dish called Eggs in a Nest. We've had this with zucchini, according to the recipe, and it's great that way too!
It's better with a little goat cheese crumbled on top near the end of the baking time.
And, of course, even better with bacon.
