📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a 3-quart pot over high heat, bring 2 1/2 quarts water to a boil. Working in 2 batches, blanch kale for ⏱️ 30 seconds. Transfer each batch to a colander and let drain until cool. Squeeze kale to remove excess water, then chop roughly and reserve.
2
Preheat oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook onions, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground pepper, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and caramelized, about ⏱️ 25 minutes. Add flour and stir. Add wine and bring to a simmer. Add cream, milk, zest, nutmeg, and cayenne, and simmer for 2 more minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups cheese, reserved kale, and remaining salt, and stir to combine.
3
Pour kale mixture into a 2 1/2-quart baking dish and sprinkle on remaining cheese. Bake until bubbling and brown, 45 to ⏱️ 50 minutes. Serve immediately.
