I have made this many times. Hands down the tastiest way to eat swiss chard. I make this for everyday without the breadcrumbs, and it is still very good. With the breadcrumbs it is exceptional - I served it at Thanksgiving this year and there were no leftovers. I usually add a squeeze of lemon and some grated parmesan cheese.

Absolute winner! YUM. I too left some of the ribs in for texture. The breadcrumbs are really the finishing touch- it wouldn't be the same without them.They adds to the depth of the flavor and texture combination.I'll save on calories elsewhere. Great Tuscan side to serve with meats. Made with olive oil, it also works well for my vegan daughter.
