Turnip Gratin

Ingredents

2 medium turnips, peeled and thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced turnips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
5. Layer half of the sautéed turnips in a greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Pour half of the cheese mixture over the turnips. Repeat with the remaining turnips and cheese mixture.
6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
7. Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.
