Kale, Swiss Cheese, and Bacon Casserole

Makes 4 servings

4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pound kale, stems removed, leaves washed and drained
1 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces Swiss cheese, cut into 4 slices

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large sauté pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Prepare the kale leaves by rolling them up lengthwise and slicing them crosswise into thin strips about 1/8 inch wide. Transfer the kale to an 8” square baking dish and toss in the bacon.

In a medium bowl, mix together the cream, eggs, salt and pepper. Pour the cream mixture over the kale and lay the Swiss cheese on top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the cheese is golden and the kale mixture is set. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Leek-Potato Gratin

1 garlic clove, halved
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
5 cups sliced leeks (white and green parts of 5-6 leeks)
Coarse salt and freshly ground black or white pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 - 1 1/4 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/16 inch thick
4 ounces Gorgonzola dolce (this is the sweeter type)
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil to go on the rack underneath the gratin. Rub a medium gratin dish or a 1 1/2 quart flameproof casserole with the garlic. Let the garlic juice dry and then butter the dish well.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender and rather dry 10-12 minutes. Grate in some nutmeg and taste for salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.

Layer one third of the potatoes in the gratin dish. Season with salt and pepper, spread with half of the leeks, and crumble half of the Gorgonzola over them. Repeat, and finish with the last third of the potatoes. Combine the milk and cream, pour into the dish, and bring to a simmer over medium low heat. Watch that this doesn't boil over and make a mess!

Dust the gratin with the Parmesan and bake for about 40 minutes, until well browned and bubbling. Stick a knife into the gratin to make sure the potatoes are tender. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Butternut, Onion and Apple Casserole

1 butternut squash, peeled and cut into ½ inch chunks (approx. 4 cups total)
2 medium onions (approx. 1 cup), chopped and cooked 1 minute in 1 Tbs. oil
4 large firm apples (approx. 2 cups), sliced
¾ cup cider or apple juice

Steam the squash in a steamer basket 5-6 minutes or until partially cooked. Spread 2 cups squash in the bottom of a buttered 2 quart casserole, top with half the chopped onions and half the chopped apples, then repeat the layers. Pour the cider or juice over the top and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until done. If you like, add 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds as a topping before you bake the casserole. This gives a crunchy top to the dish.
