Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375 º.
-
Start by peeling and thinly slicing the turnips and mincing the cloves of garlic. Grate about 2 cups of Gruyere cheese.
-
In a large oven-proof skillet, melt 2-3 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Place a single layer of turnips on top of the butter.
-
Next, sprinkle a little of the garlic on top, then – and this is purely optional and really not all that necessary – add a couple of tablespoons of butter.
-
Next drizzle a healthy splash of chicken broth over the turnips. Next, do the same with the cream.
-
Now add a nice layer of Gruyere – about 1/2 cup. Sprinkle a bit of salt, but not much as the cheese is already salty.
-
Repeat these layers twice more. Sprinkle on some freshly ground black pepper.
-
Now pop the whole thing into the over and bake for about 20 minutes or until the top is hot, brown and bubbly.
