Yummy! I just bought beet at the farmers market this morning and did not want to waste the tops. I came across this reciepe and had everything on hand,(Low fat Ricotta and egg beaters I tried it, I did add a little bit of nutmeg to the tops when sauting them. At first when I tasted it I was sure what I thought they more I ate the more I like it. I will make this again

My whole family loved it! I did quite a bit of substituting, because I was "using up" instead of shopping for the recipe. I used a leek, baby bellas, beet greens, spinach and asparagus for the veggies. I used 2 whole eggs instead of yolks, asiago instead of parmesan, and cottage cheese instead of ricotta. I am looking forward to making it again, using chard instead of all those other green veggies. I will also reduce the salt to 1/4 tsp when I make it again.

I came across this recipe because i was trying to read up on beets and how to prepare them. I had everything on hand, except the crackers. I use whole wheat chex mix instead. It was fabulous! It tastes like quiche but without the cheesy greasy guilt.

I sauteed oyster mushrooms, garlic, a small diced onion while I prepped the greens from two bunches of beets (soaking briefly in water, then spinned in a salad spinner to dry off. I bunched the greens together and roughly chopped them before adding them to the pan and letting them cook down. In addition to the "wet" ingredients, I added some smoked paprika and a little chili flake for extra flavor. I didn't have Ritz crackers, but I had Pepperidge Farm ones that were similar (butterfly shaped... I think they're the butter ones. I broiled the top, briefly, just so it would be nice and golden. All in all, I think this came out great - flavorful, creamy, and delicious. I'll be sure to use more beet greens the next time, because I don't anticipate that what I made will last long.

I have been on a gratin kick. Some are very labor intensive. This one was absolutely delicious and relatively easy to make! A great and inventive way to make greens the whole family will love. My kids loved it!!! Thanks Alton!

I have been eating beet greens for years since my husband always grows beets in his gardens, specifically for the greens. We usually cook them with onion, garlic, and sometimes a little bacon in some beef broth. That's good, but this was such a surprise treat. It's like a beet green custard!! Loved it. Will make it again.

Was tired of making plain, boiled beet tops, and found this recipe. Tried it for a family dinner and it was a big hit! My brother and sister said this recipe is a keeper! Took leftovers to school to share with my beet loving friends (they all got just a taste.... now they look for beets at the Farmer's Market so they can make it and get a full portion!!!!
