Author Notes: This recipe has French/Italian/Spanish origins. We were in France on vacation and a friend prepared a similar dish calling it a Trouchina. I did some research and added my own ingredients. I use Pecorino cheese because I find far more flavorful than Parmesan. I have spiced it up a bit with cayenne and loaded it with lots of wonderful and healthy chard. —Sharon
