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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the carrots and parsnips, then slice them thinly into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring well. Add the sliced carrots and parsnips, ensuring they are evenly coated in the cream mixture.

Step 5

Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are just beginning to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the gruyere cheese, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper until the cheese melts into the sauce.

Step 7

Transfer the vegetable and cream mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the vegetables are fully tender.

Step 10

Allow the gratin to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired.
