13 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 cups chopped collard greens
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup French fried onions

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2
    Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour slowly, stirring until it forms a thick paste, about 4 minutes. Whisk milk into the paste until smooth with a gravy consistency, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. 3
    Melt 1 tablespoon butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute red onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until onion is browned, about 6 minutes.
  4. 4
    Mix collard greens into the skillet, in batches if necessary. Cook and stir until slightly wilted and all greens fit in the skillet, about 2 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until greens are bright green and tender, 5 to 10 minutes more. Add enough gravy mixture to just coat the greens.
  5. 5
    Transfer cooked greens to a baking dish small enough so the greens can be piled 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep. Cover with French fried onions and press into the dish.
  6. 6
    Bake in the preheated oven until fried onions brown slightly, 20 to 30 minutes.
