Sorry about the link thing. Here's the whole post.

I used my pie crust recipe, the recipe makes 8 single crusts so I had
some in the freezer.

Sauteed in bacon fat:
1/2 medium onion
1 cup chopped leftover ham
1 clove garlic
cooked till onion was softened and garlic was just beginning to color,
removed from skillet and set aside.

In same skillet sauteed one bunch of rainbow chard (mixed colors of
chard) till tender and
most of the moisture was used up. Count in the bunch of chard was 10
large leaves. Salted and peppered the chard as it sauteed. Mixed the
chard with the sauteed onions and ham mixture.

In another bowl:
mixed 2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes with
1 cup of the leftover ricotta cheese
about 1/3 cup shredded parmesan (the bits I had leftover)
handful of real bacon bits
salt and pepper

Rolled out the pie crust.
Spread the potato mixture over the crust to within 2 inches of the
edge.
Spread the chard ,ham and onion mixture over the potatoes
Sprinkled about 2 ounces of crumbled feta cheese over the top

Folded up the sides to make the galette.

Baked at 400 for about 30 minutes.

Very tasty if I do say so myself.

I salvage the stems that aren't too thick and cut out the tough cental
ribs, dice and cook as a separate vegetable... otherwise you need to
over cook the leaves before the ribs are edible. Swiss chard is
actually beets, it's beet tops without the beetroot... try to explain
that one to our resident beet babe in Minnie Soda.

Could you follow the same method and use a puff pastry instead? Can you
sub the feta with another cheese? I don't like feta cheese.
