  • 2 medium kohlrabi bulbs, whole, peeled green leaves from the 2 kohlrabi bulbs, stems removed
  • 1 c. green garlic (white & green parts), rinsed well & coarsely chopped
  • 1 c. half & half (or ½ cup heavy whipping cream + ½ cup milk)
  • ⅔ cup shredded/crumbled cheese of choice (Parmesan or blue cheese are my favorites)
  • ½ tsp. each salt, pepper, & nutmeg
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • ¼ c. bread crumbs

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In medium sauce pan with a lid, boil whole potatoes & peeled, whole kohlrabi bulbs for 7-8 minutes, until tender but not soft.
  3. Drain into a colander.
  4. Chiffonade de-stemmed kohlrabi leaves (make a pile of flat leaves, roll them up into a log, & slice thinly) & place in the potato/ kohlrabi pan with about an inch of water.
  5. Bring to boil with the lid & steam for about 2 minutes. Drain.
  6. Cut potatoes & kohlrabi bulbs in half the long way & slice thinly.

  10. Spoon ⅓ of the seasoned cream & cheese mixture.
  11. Top with the kohlrabi greens & another ⅓ of the cream mixture.
  12. Add the remaining potato & kohlrabi slices, topped with the remaining cream mix. Sprinkle top with bread crumbs, cover with tin foil, & bake for 20 minutes.
