To prep for Thanksgiving this year, I teamed up with the hostess with the most-ess, Molly Sims, to bring you one of my favorite savory recipes: Swiss Chard and Butternut Squash Tart. This tart is so delicious and versatile, and can be served for brunch, lunch or dinner! I love popping in other flavors here too! I have made a version of tart with spinach, leek, dill, mint and feta for a spanakopita flavor, also delicious. Try this fall favorite of mine, and check out the video on Molly’s channel for step by step process! Enjoy!
