- Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and kosher salt. Toss the prepared kale in the mixture and gently massage. Set aside.
- Heat a lidded braising dish over medium-low heat. Add the massaged kale in batches and cover. Stir occasionally and cook until evenly braised, about 35 minutes.
- Add dots of softened cream cheese to the braised kale and sprinkle the grated cheeses overtop. Remove from the heat and replace the lid until the cheeses are melted.
- Place the breadcrumb mixture into a sauté pan over medium heat. Stirring, cook until fragrant and browned.
- Once the cheeses have melted, toss the mixture to incorporate. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with browned breadcrumbs to serve.
