Servings: persons

3 thick slices smoky bacon, cut into small dice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bunches Swiss chard, stemmed, leaves chopped into 1/2-inch dice
2 cups heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
18 oysters, freshly shucked, patted dry, and coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh bread crumbs

1
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F.
2
Brown the bacon in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the butter, onion, garlic, and Swiss chard and saute until the chard is completely wilted. Remove from the heat. Pour the mixture into a colander set in the sink and squeeze out all excess liquid. Reserve.
3
Return the pan to the stove and add the cream and nutmeg. Bring to a boil over high heat, then decrease the heat to medium-low so the cream does not boil over. Cook the cream until it reduces to 1 cup. Set aside to cool.
4
In a bowl, combine the chard mixture, cooled cream, and oysters. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into a 3-quart gratin dish. Using the back of a spoon, spread the mixture evenly. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and sprinkle the topping evenly over the gratin.
5
Bake until the mixture is bubbling around the sides and the crust is lightly golden brown, about 12 minutes.
6
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
