Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 1/2 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • healthy pinch baking soda
  • healthy pinch salt
  • healthy pinch xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 2 good-sized leeks, white and light green part, cut in half lengthwise and sliced thinly crosswise
  • 2 cups chopped collard greens
  • 1/4 cup chopped ham, hopefully from a leftover roast
  • 1/4 cup shredded Jarlsberg cheese
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups half-and-half or light cream, maybe a little more if needd

Instruction

  • Stir together dry ingredients, set aside
  • Melt together the olive oil and butter in a skillet, add leeks and saute over medium-low heat until softened and just turning golden.
  • Rinse the collard greens and shake off excess water, add to the leeks, and cook over medium-low heat until water is evaporated and greens start to soften, about 15 minutes. Drain and place on paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  • Scatter the collard greens and leeks in an 11-inch tart pan and strew the ham artfully about. Then toss the cheese over it all.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the eggs and half and half. Stir in the flour mix, adding more half and half if it seems a little thick, and pour into the tart pan.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes; check and bake an additional 10 minutes or until just a little jiggly and starting to become golden brown on top.
