  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.
In a 6- to 8-inch cast-iron skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon, and let drain on paper towels, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet. Chop bacon, and set aside.
Add onion to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add turnip greens in batches, stirring after each addition until wilted. Stir in salt. Reduce heat to low. Add cream cheese; cook, stirring frequently, until smooth and combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in 3⁄4 cup fontina, 3⁄4 cup mozzarella, mayonnaise, sour cream, parsley, and cream. Sprinkle with remaining 1⁄4 cup fontina, remaining 1⁄4 cup mozzarella, and bacon.
Bake until hot and bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve hot with toasted bread slices.
