Cheesy Bacon Spring greens
Ingredients
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 onion (finely sliced)
1 clove garlic (crushed)
250 g bacon (diced*)
1 head spring greens (about 300g)
50 ml single cream
150 g sliced or grated cheese**
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Fry the onion and garlic very gently, preferably in a non-stick pan, until translucent and collapsing.
Remove the onion and garlic from the pan and fry the bacon, using a little more oil if necessary, until golden brown.
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
Thinly slice the spring greens and steam on the hob or microwave for 3-5 minutes until wilted.
Stir the onions and garlic, bacon, cream and a good grating of pepper into the spring greens. Add salt as you feel necessary remembering that some cheeses, especially blue cheeses, are very salty.
Tip the mixture into and oven dish and top with the grated or sliced cheese.
Place in the pre-heated oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden and melted.
Serve with crusty bread.

Re: Cheesy Bacon Spring greens
You need to use summut, try cheese sauce or white sauce instead of cream
