Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of chard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp finely chopped garlic
  • 8 slices of rustic sourdough bread
  • 2 tbsp. room temperature butter
  • 225 g roasted peppers (pot), cut into strips
  • 200 g Belegen Beemster 48+, grated
  • 200 g Beemster Old, or Extra Old if available, grated

Kitchen Stuff

  • Contact grill (optional)

Prepare

  1. Remove the thick end of the stalks of chard. Cut the chard into ½-inch pieces. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Then add the chard and fry until soft, +- 5 min.
  2. Brush the bread slices on one side with the softened butter. Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, on a cutting board or clean work surface. Top with ¼ of the chard and ¼ of the roasted red bell bell pepper. Sprinkle with 50 g of the grated Belegen Beemster and 50 g of the Beemster Extra Oud. Place the other slices of bread on the topped sides, also with the buttered side up.
  3. Place in a contact grill or skillet and cook for 2 min, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted. If using a skillet, flip the panini once so that the other side also becomes crispy. Fry the other 3 paninis in the same way.
