Ingredients

6 strips bacon
6 Tbsp. butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, finely chopped
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese
4 oz. Havarti cheese
1-1/2 cups whipping cream
dash salt and pepper
4 Tbsp. olive oil
4 lb. green Swiss chard
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cook bacon in a medium skillet over moderately high heat until the fat is rendered, 3 to 5 min. Transfer bacon to paper towels, keeping the drippings in the skillet. Add the butter along with the garlic and 1/2 of the shallots to skillet. Cook over moderate heat until softened, about 2 min. Add cream cheese, Havarti, and whisk in whipping cream. Simmer until reduced by half, about 8 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add olive oil and sauté Swiss chard leaves with the remaining shallots until softened, about 3 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer chard leaves to a shallow baking dish and cover with the cream cheese mixture. Top with panko and crumbled bacon. Bake until crumbs are toasted and the casserole is bubbling, about 30 min.
