I put it all in my food processor to blend, then baked. Turned out perfect and delish! :)

I used fresh collards, steaming in water before adding to the other ingredients. Make sure to cut the collards into small pieces. Mine were precut, but the pieces were still too large.

This dip is a big hit with friends and family and I am requested to make it constantly. I use the frozen collards, but if that's not available, I will use fresh collards, blanched and drained.

Absolutely delicious, I used fresh collard greens as I grow them in my garden. I have passed this recipe on to my fellow foodies! Rosemary
