directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a shallow baking dish with butter.
  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil, then season generously with salt. Working in batches, cook the greens separately until tender. Collard greens and mustard greens take 3-4 minutes. Swiss chard can take less than a minute. Periodically take a piece from the water and taste to make sure it has reached desired doneness. Once each green is tender, put in a fine mesh strainer and press out all the liquid. Chop all the greens.
  • In a medium-sized saute pan over medium heat, add the bacon. Render out the fat until the bacon is crispy. Once the bacon is golden brown, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and reserve. In the same pan, add the onions and garlic and toss to coat in the rendered fat. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 teaspoon chili flakes. Cook the mixture until it is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add olive oil if the pan seems dry.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute. Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly. Season with nutmeg. Cook the milk until it begins to thicken. Add half the gruyere. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then remove from heat. Mix in the prepared greens, then pour into greased baking dish.
  • Mix together the remaining gruyere, the parsley, remaining 1 teaspoon chili flakes, reserved bacon and bread crumbs. Top the dish with this mixture.
  • Place on a sheet tray in the oven and cook for about 25 minutes, or until the gratin is bubbly and golden. .

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>Live and work in the heart of the US - Ohio! I work as a Risk Management Consultant, and I do have to work to pay the bills (at least for now), but my passion is cooking.....and eating with as much variety as I can find. I am incredibly lucky in that my BF will eat anything I cook and will give me his honest opinion. What more can you ask from a guy? Well.....let's not go there...at least not online LOL. <br />We share our home with four rescued cats and two Beagle Dachshund mixes (beaners!). We'd rescue more if I could afford the vet bills. <br />Other passions include my vegetable and herb garden, and BF provides the needed grunt work (laughs).</p>
