Individual Swiss Chard Gratins

High-quality Gruyère cheese has a creamy, nutty taste and it melts beautifully. Here, it gilds a rich white sauce that is mixed with mildly bitter Swiss chard, then baked into individual casseroles. A crisp topping of buttery, Parmigiano-flecked bread crumbs adds an appealing crunch.
