• In a medium saucepan, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook, whisking, until thick and bubbly, about 3 minutes. Whisk in milk and cream. Increase heat to medium-high; cook until mixture just begins to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking often, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup Parmesan and 1 cup Gruyere; stir in lemon zest, 2 teaspoons salt, and pepper. Transfer cheese mixture to bowl with kale mixture and mix until fully combined.
• Transfer kale mixture to prepared baking dish; top with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan and Gruyere. Bake until heated through, about 25 minutes.
• Preheat broiler. Transfer baking dish to broiler; broil until browned and bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve dip with tortilla chips or toasted baguette.

SMOTHERED MUSHROOMS AND KALE

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet with extra-virgin olive oil and butter over medium to medium-high heat. When fat is hot, add garlic and mushrooms and place a lid which is too small for the skillet down into the pan, pressing and smothering the mushrooms. Cook 7 to 8 minutes, stirring once, then wilt the kale into the pan, turning it with tongs to combine with mushrooms. Smother the greens for 1 to 2 minutes, then deglaze the pan with Marsala and season the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste.
