Transfer to prepared tray. Repeat with remaining cakes. Place in oven for 10 minutes or until cakes are cooked through. Clean pan.
  4. Place chard leaves into a large bowl. Cover with boiling water and stand for 2 minutes or until just wilted. Drain.
  5. Heat remaining butter in pan over medium heat. When melted, add 2 eggs and cook for 2 minutes or until whites are cooked. Transfer to a plate and cook remaining eggs. Place a fish cake onto each serving plate. Top with chard and an egg. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Serve.
