Savory gratin with leeks, parsnips, yams, and apples - a delightful side dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 cups whipping (heavy) cream
  • 2 large leeks, sliced (2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 2 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 medium yams (about 3/4 pound), peeled and thinly sliced (2 cups)
  • 4 medium parsnips, peeled and thinly sliced (2 cups)
  • 2 cups grated white Cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
  • 1 large cooking apple, thinly sliced (1 1/2 cups)
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 3-quart casserole dish.
  • In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, gently simmer whipping cream, leeks, thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, stirring occasionally until it starts to simmer. Add yams and parsnips, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender.
  • Create a luscious casserole by arranging a layer of half the vegetable mixture and half the cheese, then adding slices of apple on top. Repeat with another layer of vegetables and cheese for a delightful dish.
  • Bake uncovered for around 45 minutes, or until beautifully golden and bubbling. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
