Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Parsnips
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then slice them thinly into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil. Mince the garlic and add to the skillet, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring well. Add the sliced carrots and parsnips, ensuring they are evenly coated in the cream mixture.
Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just beginning to soften.
Stir in the gruyere cheese, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper until the cheese melts into the sauce.
Transfer the vegetable and cream mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are fully tender.
Allow the gratin to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired.
