Preparation
Mushroom Gravy
Step 1
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook crimini mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until browned and tender, about 5 minutes; season with salt. Transfer to a large plate.
Step 2
Add another 1 Tbsp. oil to same skillet and cook maitake mushrooms, tossing occasionally, until nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Add butter, shallots, garlic, and thyme. Season with salt and cook, reducing heat if needed to avoid scorching and tossing often, until shallots are softened. Sprinkle in flour and toss to coat mushrooms. Transfer to plate with crimini mushrooms. Clean skillet.
Step 3
Combine remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and onion in clean skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add kale and collard greens a handful at a time, seasoning with pinches of salt as you go and stirring until wilted before adding more. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all greens are tender, 8–10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in mushrooms, cream, and 2 Tbsp. water; pluck out thyme sprigs. Season gravy generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 3-qt. baking dish.
Step 4
Do Ahead: Gravy can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.
Biscuits and Assembly
Step 5
Preheat oven to 375°. Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, sugar, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Add butter and work into dry ingredients with your fingers until only pea-size pieces remain. Stir in buttermilk with a few swift strokes of a spoon then add scallions, jalapeño, and cheese. Mix gently until no dry spots remain. Divide dough into 8 rough portions (don’t roll into balls) and evenly space on top of mushroom gravy. Bake, rotating once, until biscuits are golden brown and gravy is bubbling around the edges of the pan, 30–35 minutes. Let sit a few minutes before serving.

Back to TopI overbought greens and was looking to put them to good use. This recipe is DE-LICIOUS! When adding salt to the kale and collard greens by the handful, be sparing. I substituted whole wheat flour for all purpose in the cornmeal biscuits and it turned out wonderful. For those that love the flavor of jalapeno, I would suggest adding 1 more than what's called for in the recipe. It isn't spicy especially if you remove the seeds, it's just for that pepper flavor in the biscuits.
