Ingredients

  • 1 pound stemmed mustard greens
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus extra for baking dish
  • 3 whole eggs, beaten
  • 10 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 2 ounces grated Parmesan (approximately 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for garlic and mushrooms
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup crushed round butter crackers

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Remove any large stems from the greens and wash them thoroughly; do so in a sink with at least 5 inches of water. Moving the leaves around in the water and allowing them to sit for a few minutes to allow the sand or dirt to fall to the bottom of the sink. Once clean, roughly chop the greens. You should have 1 pound finished greens once they are stemmed. (Weigh the greens after stemming, but before washing.) After washing the greens, place them in a salad spinner to thoroughly dry them.

Butter a 9 by 11-inch or 2 1/2-quart baking dish and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, ricotta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

In a large, 13 by 11-inch roasting pan set over 2 burners on medium heat, melt the butter in 1 corner of the pan. Add the garlic, mushrooms, and a pinch of salt and cook until the mushrooms give up their liquid, approximately 5 to 6 minutes. Add the greens and cook until they are wilted, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. The greens will reduce to less than 1/4 of their original volume and begin to look like thawed, frozen spinach. Remove the pan from the heat.

Add the greens to the egg and cheese mixture and stir to thoroughly combine. Pour into the prepared baking dish, top with the crackers, place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and serve.

    My "Don't Mess with MY Mustard Greens" Husband LOVED them!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    As much as I enjoy mustard greens (my husband's greens of choice)traditionally prepared, I was looking for something... different. This was an EXCELLENT recipe - very forgiving of personal choice alternatives (part parmesan/part Jarlsberg) & butter mixed into the cracker crumb topping)& my husband RAVED! We'll definitely make them again!! Can't wait to bring to the next potluck at work!Read more

    There is nothing I would do to this recipe. Great side dish to any meal. I've made it in a bigger dish to make a thinner... version for sandwiches.Read more

    Wonderful way to prepare greens

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Great subtle flavor that's even better reheated.

    This simple recipe allows those with bad memories (and tastes in their mouths) to enjoy real goodness from the garden. ... Collard greens are especially good prepared this way.Read more

    Good, but won't repeat

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    Alton's a genius, but we're just partial to greens with vinegar and ham or bacon. The cheeses and mushrooms helped balance... the bitterness of the mustard greens, and we DID eat two servings each as a main dish. However, I don't think we'll make this again.Read more
