GREENS AND MOZZARELLA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Butter a 1 1/2-quart baking dish or casserole; preheat the oven to 375 degrees or (350 degrees if using an oven-proof glass dish).
• Cut out and discard the tough stems of the greens; if using kale or collards, cut out thick center ribs.
• Rinse all the greens and shake off any excess water, then chop them into 1/2-inch pieces.
• In a large skillet, cook the greens over low heat, adding them by handfuls and stirring them down as they wilt; add 1/2 cup of water if the greens seem dry.
• Cover the skillet and braise for 10 to 15 minutes, or until tender.
• Pour off any liquid left in the skillet, then season the greens with salt and pepper; transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat the broth and half-and-half in a saucepan just until bubbles form around the edge of the pan.
