Wash the chard, chop it finely, rub with half the salt for 5 minutes, and squeeze out its water.
Finely chop the scallions and dill, then mix them with the chard.
Whisk the eggs, yogurt, olive oil, remaining salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Add the cornmeal, flour, and baking powder and make a batter with the texture of boza.
Fold the herb mixture into the batter and spread it thinly on an oiled tray.
Bake the calkama at 185°C for 30 minutes until the edges brown.
Rest the tray for 7 minutes, slice, and serve warm.
💡 Tip: After chopping the chard, rub it with salt for 5 minutes and squeeze it dry; excess water makes the tray batter heavy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice calkama and serve it like an Aegean breakfast with optional strained yogurt, olives, and strong tea.
