- 3 cups coarsely chopped and lightly packed fresh mustard greens (feel free to use the greens of your choice, e.g. kale, spinach, Swiss Chard, etc.)
- 1-7 to 8 ounce cansliced mushrooms, drained (I almost always use fresh everything, but canned are perfect for this)

INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high.
- Add onion and a pinch of salt and saute, stirring frequently for about 3 minutes or until onion is tender.
- Add, garlic and saute, stirring, for about 30 seconds.
- Add the cream cheese and Italian seasoning and stir until melted,lowering heat at any point if necessary.
- Stir in artichoke hearts followed by greens, one cup at a time, allowing each cup to wilt before adding next cup.
- Then stir in mushrooms, water chestnuts, mozzarella shreds, and 1/4 cup Parmesan topping, stirring until mozzarella is completely melted. Season to taste with additional sea salt, if needed, and freshly ground black pepper.
- At this point, you may transfer into a greased casserole dish if you like, but I baked it right in the skillet. Sprinkle the top with remaining Parmesan and sliced almonds.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with smoked or plan paprika and serve hot with chips or crackers.
