Directions:

  1. Line the gratin dishes with the puff pastry and bake them blind 3/4 of the way - Let them cool.
  2. SAUCE: Heat the butter and mix the flour into it. Cook only for a minute or two, adding next the cream and milk. Cook further until it thickens sufficiently then season it with the mustard, nutmeg, salt and white pepper. Set it aside.
  3. GREENS: Remove any and all overly fibrous parts and stems from the greens and roughly chop them. Clean and half the leeks and slice them thinly. Finely mince the garlic.
  4. Plunge the greens into a large pot of boiling water, now say you “Great Glorious Gratineed Greens” thrice, and then drain and cool them at once. Squeeze out all of the excess liquid.
  5. In the bye and bye, sauté the leeks in the butter until they are just starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook but a minute before mixing in the greens. Cook for 3-4 minutes and then stir in the béchamel and cook it only so far as to thoroughly incorporate the sauce.
  6. Have the eggs beaten into the fresh cream and stir them it in away from the heat. Fill the pastry shells with this sileadh (light pun intended) and bake at 375 for about 10 minutes.
  7. Have waiting the breadcrumbs, cheese (finely grated) and herbs mixed together. I would personally use rosemary and flat leafed parsley myself.
  8. Spread an even layer over the tops of each dish and place beneath a broiler to brown - But beware lest the pastry burn!
