Check out what our friends from Country Living have to say about this recipe:
“Instead of the expected spinach, kale delivers iron-rich goodness in an irresistibly gooey casserole.”
You can still try this recipe with spinach if you want just like what I did. However, you will not be disappointed if you stick with kale. Kale provides a new flavor in this rich dish and you can’t resist it.
Ingredients
4 bunch kale (or spinach, or a combination of both)
1½ large Vidalia onions
6 tbsp. Land O Lakes butter
1¼ tsp. Morton salt
¾ tsp. McCormick Freshly ground pepper
5 tsp. Gold MEDAL all-purpose flour
⅓ c. white wine
1½ c. Borden heavy cream
1 c. Borden milk
¾ tsp. lemon zest
½ tsp. McCormick ground nutmeg
.13 tsp. McCormick cayenne pepper
2 c. Sargento grated Parmesan cheese
bread crumbs (optional)
Instructions
In a 3-quart pot over high heat, bring 2 1/2 quarts water to a boil. Working in 2 batches, blanch kale for 30 seconds. Transfer each batch to a colander and let drain until cool. Squeeze kale to remove excess water, then chop roughly and reserve.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook onions, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground pepper, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 25 minutes. Add flour and stir. Add wine and bring to a simmer. Add cream, milk, zest, nutmeg, and cayenne, and simmer for 2 more minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups cheese, reserved kale, and remaining salt, and stir to combine.
Pour kale mixture into a 2 1/2-quart baking dish and sprinkle on remaining cheese. If using, sprinkle bread crumbs on top. Bake until bubbling and brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Serve immediately.
