  2. Blanch the chard in boiling water for 1 minute, drain, squeeze very dry and chop.

  3. Fry the bacon for 6 minutes until the fat runs. Add the shallot for 2 minutes. Mix with the chard, prunes and parsley.

  4. Whisk the flour, eggs, milk, salt and pepper to a smooth batter. Stir in the filling.

  5. Pour into the tin and bake for 60 minutes until golden and firm.

  6. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
