Instructions

1. Blanch the Swiss chard in boiling salted water for 2–3 minutes until tender. Rinse in cold water, squeeze dry, and chop finely.
2. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat some butter in a pan over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the chopped chard and remove from heat.
3. In a bowl, stir the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Mix in 50 g grated Parmesan, then stir in the egg and egg yolk. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Fold in the chard mixture until combined.
4. Gradually work the flour into the mixture. Let rest for 5 minutes.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Using 2 teaspoons, form small dumplings and gently drop them into the boiling water. When they float to the surface, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute more.
6. Drain the dumplings and arrange on a serving plate. Top with melted butter and grated Parmesan cheese.
