Hazırlanışı

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Choose a deep 9 or 10-inch tart pan or casserole and spread two tablespoons of oil over the both and sides. Sprinkle half a cup of your breadcrumbs over the oil covering the bottom and sides of your dish. Wash greens, removing ends and retaining only tender stems. Coarsely chop the leaves and chop the stems into pieces one inch or smaller. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and once boiling, drop the greens into the water and cook until tender, about 10 minutes, depending on the type of greens you use. (Spinach will cook much quicker.) Drain very well, squeezing out as much moisture as possible. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil and add the onion and pancetta, and cook over medium heat until tender and beginning to brown, about five minutes. Add the garlic, chili flakes, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, mix well and cook another minute or two. Add the greens and toss to coat well with the seasoned onion mixture, then remove from heat and cool to room temperature. In a small bowl use a fork to mix together the eggs and the half cup of grated cheese. Add the egg mixture into the cooked greens and stir to mix well. Pour the greens into your prepared dish and use the back of a spoon to spread evenly. Mix together the remaining half cup of breadcrumbs, half cup of grated cheese and tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Sprinkle this crumb mixture evenly over the top of the torta. Bake until set and lightly browned, about 45 minutes. (If the top begins to get too brown simply cover with aluminum foil.) Cool to room temperature before slicing
