Recipe - Mozzarella Swiss Chard Snack Wraps

Here is an interesting one to try, especially if, like me, you get a lot of Swiss Chard in your CSA share, and are wondering what to do with it! The cheese makes these a great way to get your kids to eat some vegetables, and you can add your own creative touches as well - try different kinds of cheese, add red pepper flakes if you want a little kick, or add other vegetables as well.

Try it, and see what you think!

(Makes 8 snack wraps)

Ingredients:
8 large Swiss chard leaves
1 large (or 2 medium) ripe tomato, cut into 8 wedges
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp onion flakes
salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly oil a large baking sheet.
  2. Put big pot of water on stove and bring to a boil; drop Swiss chard leaves in for about 30 seconds, just long enough to soften, remove and drain on rack.
  3. Lay leaves out on prepared baking pan and brush each with olive oil lightly.
  4. Place a tomato wedge in the center of each leaf, sprinkle with a little onion flakes, season with salt and pepper, then divide the mozzarella cheese evenly on top of each leaf. 
  5. Roll the leaves up and over the tomato and cheese, tucking under to close.
  6. Place in preheated oven at 400 degrees and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and Swiss chard is starting to brown around the edges.
  7. Serve hot.
