Season with salt & pepper and set aside.

Saute the swiss chard leaves in some EVOO for about 5 minutes until softened and season with salt, pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg. Add to the swiss chard stems.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the EVOO and dried herbs. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Heat the broth in a small saucepan. Oil a large casserole dish with some EVOO. Add 1/3 of the onion mixture. Top with 1/3 of the bread cubes, then 1/3 of the chard. Sprinkle some of the cheese on top. Press down with the back of a spatula. Repeat the layers. Slowly pour the broth over the entire casserole. Cover the pan with some aluminum foil and bake for one hour. Remove foil, increase heat to 375 degrees and bake for an additional 15 minutes until nicely browned. Enjoy!
