About the recipe

Calling all mushroom lovers! Cheers to mushroom season with your favourite melted French cheese and potatoes to fill your tummy and your love tank.

Ingredients

 

The Pan
● 1 sliced sweet onion
● 1 box (300) mushrooms sliced
● 1-2 tsp fresh chopped garlic
● salt and pepper

 

Other
● 7 potatoes thinly cut or cut in small cubes

 

 

The Cheese
• 400 mL heavy cream
• 2 cups (300 g) of gruyere, muenster, camembert, raclette, or brie cheese
• 1 ¼ cup (150 g) grated cheese
• 2 pinches of nutmeg
• salt and pepper

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F (200 °C).

2. Potatoes: Boil the potatoes until they are mostly cooked. They will finish cooking in the oven. Once finished, drain and set aside.

3. Sauté the garlic and onion in oil on medium heat for 3 minutes.

4. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper, and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. In a small pot, heat all “The Cheese” ingredients on low until it is completely homogenized. Be careful not to boil the ingredients, and stir frequently while scraping the bottom to avoid burning.

6. Take a big bowl and put the potatoes, melted cheese and mushroom mix together, gently mixing with a spatula.

7. Spread the potato mix evenly in a baking dish.

8. Top with shredded cheese, a few mushrooms, and parsley.

9. Bake for 20-30 until bubbley. Be sure to knife the potatoes to ensure they are cooked.

10. Let it cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!

11. This gratin refrigerates well for 5 days or you can put it in the freezer.
