Place the well washed, roughly chopped Swiss chard on top of the potato mixture. Cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes only.
Mix the White Sauce Powder with the milk and stir into the spinach mixture.
Puree with a blender or food processor and decant into an ovenproof dish ± 26 cm x 30 cm.
Cheese Souffle Topping
Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 190°C.
Squeeze the Cheese Sauce into a medium size mixing bowl.
Separate the eggs.
Stir the egg yolks into the Cheese Sauce and add the grated cheese.
Beat the egg-whites in a clean glass or stainless-steel mixing bowl, with clean beaters until stiff but not dry. Fold into the cheese mixture.
Pour over the spinach in the ovenproof dish.
Bake for ± 30 minutes until well puffed and golden.
