Jerusalem artichoke gratin

Prep time 30 minutes Total time 1h30 minutes Serves 4 portions

Ah December...it's not so easy to make the transition to winter and load up on winter clothing (though watching the first snowflakes makes up for it a little). Either way, comfort food is an absolute must.

A gratin, yes. But with a twist: Jerusalem artichokes!

2 pounds of Jerusalem artichokes
1 cup of whole milk
2 tablespoons of sour cream
2 eggs
2 pinches of pepper

1 cup of grated cheddar
1 clove of garlic
2 tablespoons of butter
salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel and wash the Jerusalem artichokes (with a mandolin if possible, or as thin as you can with a knife).
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. In a bowl, mix the milk, fresh cream, eggs, and hot pepper. Add salt and pepper.
  4. Brush a baking dish with butter then rub with garlic.
  5. In the bottom of the dish, add a layer of sliced ??artichokes. Cover the mixture with milk and a bit of the grated cheddar. Make a new layer of artichokes and repeat steps until there are no more artichokes.
  6. Finish with cheddar and a few pats of butter.
  7. Bake and cook for 1 hour.
