Ingredients Method

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream
5 cloves garlic thinly sliced
1 8-ounce package cream cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1¾ teaspoons kosher salt divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
1 pound kale stemmed and chopped
½ pound turnip greens trimmed and chopped
2 cups day-old brioche or challah cut into 1-inch cubes

Method

Preheat oven to 375°.
In a small saucepan, bring cream and garlic to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 5 minutes. Whisk in cream cheese, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper until smooth. Remove from heat.
In a 12-inch skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and remaining ¾ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Working in batches, stir in kale and turnip greens; cook until wilted. Stir in cream mixture until combined. Spoon into a 2-quart baking dish. Top with bread cubes.
Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
