WoW!!! We just made this for lunch with some beautiful chard we picked up at our farmer's market this morning. Our only change was to use hot smoked paprika that we stirred into the chard while it was wilting. An amazing combination of flavors and something we look forward to having again and again.

Good recipe. I put my pan in the oven after I got most of the liquid off first.

Executing the recipe as written produced a very wet wilted chard mix in which to add the cream cheese and milk - I had to pour off prior to adding them. I also added fresh parsley and pepper and omitted the smokey paprika because I had none on hand. Nice flavor.

Glad you enjoyed the flavors. I kept it the mixture extra wet as to better cook/poach the eggs. Sounds like it still worked without the extra liquid for you.
