Greens and Goat Cheese Gratin

4

Serves 8

The slight tang and creaminess of goat cheese brings richness to this baked gratin of wilted greens (go local if available!) and leeks for a satisfying, ultra-tasty side dish using all organic ingredients.

    Ingredients: 
    • 4 tablespoons organic butter
    • 3 organic leeks (1 1/2 pounds), dark green parts removed, remaining light green parts thinly sliced
    • 2 pounds organic greens (about 3 bunches chard, kale, collard, mustard or turnip greens), stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped
    • 3/4 cup organic 2% reduced-fat milk
    • 1 (6 ounce) log Organic Chèvre Fleurie, rind removed
    • 20 wheat square crackers, crumbled

    Method: 

    Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large saucepot, melt butter over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Stir in greens, cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until just wilted, stirring occasionally. Cook greens in batches if your pot doesn't hold them all at once. Transfer greens mixture to a bowl and set aside. Add milk to saucepot and heat just to a simmer. Remove from heat, crumble in goat cheese and whisk until melted. Stir in greens mixture until combined, then transfer to a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Bake 10 minutes, then top with cracker crumbs and continue baking until crumbs are toasted and greens are heated through, about 10 minutes longer.
