How to Make Rutabaga And Carrot Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, thinly slice 1 large rutabaga (about 2 lbs), 1 lb carrots, and 1/2 medium shallot.
  3. Set sliced vegetables aside.
  4. In an oven-safe casserole dish, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup milk, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  6. Layer the sliced rutabaga, carrots, and shallot in the casserole dish, pressing gently to submerge them in the cream mixture. Repeat layers until all vegetables are used.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup of grated Gruyere cheese (or your favorite cheese) evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
