I just didn't have the heart to throw out all that gorgeous greenery. This recipe was a big hit with my fiance! I used asiago cheese intead of parmesan because that's what I had in the fridge and it tasted lovely. I gave it a full five stars because it is easy to make, ingredients are easy to substitute, and it tastes yummy!

I've made this twice so far - once with turnip greens and once with kale. Big hit both times with family and guests.

this is a great way to enjoy all the beet. We love beets and I was looking for a way to use the tops and this is the best.
