Cheesy Holiday Rutabaga Gratin
Makes 4 to 6 servings
Use a 28 cm gratin dish. Can double the recipe and use a 36 cm gratin dish.
Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 2 lb. rutabaga, peeled, halved, and sliced 1/8 inch thick (Rutabaga can be subbed for potatoes, sweet potatoes in the same amount)
- 2 Tbs. unsalted butter, softened
- 2 oz. thinly sliced prosciutto (about 4 slices), cut into small squares
- 3/4 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 small clove garlic, smashed to a paste with a pinch of salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1-1/2 oz. Gruyère, grated (1/2 cup)
- 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
- 1 cup heavy cream
Method
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F.
- Bring a 4-quart pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the rutabaga and cook until just tender, about 6 minutes.
- Drain well and spread out on a baking sheet to cool at room temperature.
- Coat an 28cm oval gratin dish (or other small gratin dish) with about ½ Tbs. of the butter.
- In a skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat.
- Add the prosciutto and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown and crisp, about 2 minutes.
- Take off the heat, toss the breadcrumbs and garlic with the prosciutto and butter. Set aside.
- Arrange a single layer of rutabaga slices in the gratin dish, slightly overlapping.
- Season evenly with salt and pepper and sprinkle half of the Gruyère and thyme on top.
- Repeat with another layer of rutabaga, salt, pepper and the remaining thyme and Gruyère.
- Top with a final layer of rutabaga and season again with salt and pepper. (You can prepare the recipe to this point up to 2 hours ahead. Cover and keep at room temperature.)
- Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan.
- Gently pour the cream over the rutabaga and scatter the prosciutto mixture on top.
- Bake until the rutabaga can be easily pierced with a fork, and the prosciutto topping is deeply golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Let sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
