Pizza Rustica

i am making a pizza rustica to bring to my parents house for easter. it's not the traditional way i make pizza rustica. many websites say to use spinach, one said to use swiss chard. so i'd give it a try!

Pizza Rustica (crustless)
2 pounds Swiss chard, washed well, stems removed and sliced thin leaves chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 large eggs, beaten
15- to 16-ounce container whole-milk ricotta cheese
2 large red bell peppers, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup locatelli romano cheese, grated
1 lb prosciutto, cut into 1/2 inch dice
1 lb provolone cheese, cut into 1/4 inch cubes

saute the swiss chard in olive oil for about 15-20 min covered - remove.
in the remaining oil from the swiss chard, saute the peppers for about 15 min then put the garlic in for 5 additional min.

grease a 9 inch ramekin.
mix all ingredients and bake for 1 - 1.5 hours.
