Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 2 medium Green bell peppers
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.
Core the green bell peppers and slice them into thin strips. Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
In your prepared baking dish, arrange a single layer of potato slices. Lightly sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Add a layer of green bell peppers followed by a layer of tomato slices. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper, and a small amount of garlic.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of potatoes on top.
Pour the heavy cream evenly over the entire dish, ensuring it seeps through the layers.
Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese over the top layer, followed by the breadcrumbs for an extra crunch.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the top to help with browning.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
Allow the gratin to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy as a main dish or a hearty side!
