    1 large

  • Red Bell Pepper

    1 large

  • Gruyere Cheese

    200 grams

  • Heavy Cream

    200 milliliters

Instructions

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches the correct temperature before proceeding with the recipe.

  • 2
    Slice the zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper into thin rounds.

    Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper into thin, uniform rounds. This will help them cook evenly and present nicely in the finished dish.

  • 3
    In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream and grated Gruyere cheese.

    In a medium-sized bowl, combine the heavy cream and grated Gruyere cheese, stirring until the cheese is well coated and the mixture is smooth.

  • 4
    Assemble the gratin by creating layers of vegetables and cream mixture in a baking dish.

    To assemble the gratin, begin by creating a layer of sliced vegetables in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Next, spoon a portion of the cream and cheese mixture over the vegetables, followed by another layer of vegetables, and so on. Be sure to end with a layer of the cream mixture on top.

  • 5
    Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme.

    Finally, season the gratin with a pinch of salt, a few grinds of black pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme sprigs. This will enhance the flavors of the dish and add a fragrant aroma.

  • 6
    Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly.

    Place the gratin in the preheated oven and bake until the top is golden brown and the cream is bubbly, approximately 45-60 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

    Olha só! Eu acabei de testar essa receita de Vegetable Gratin e não posso dizer que fiquei extremamente impressionado... Eu amo o sabor dos vegetais frescos, como berinjela, abobrinha e pimento, mas achei que faltou um little something, um toque mágico que deixasse o prato ainda mais delicioso!!! O queijo Gruyère e o creme de leite deram um toque rico, mas não foi suficiente para compensar a falta de um sabor mais... brasiliense!!! Eu não posso deixar de pensar em como essa receita seria se combinada com alguns ingredientes típicos da culinária brasileira... talvez um pouco de pimenta malagueta, um chorinho de limão ou um toque de coentro fresco? Isso seria simplesmente INCROIÇÃO! Enfim, é uma boa receita, mas não é exatamente o que eu estava procurando... vale a pena experimentar, mas não é o meu prato favorito, vamos dizer assim!!!

    OMG, yaaas! 😍 I'm all about trying new street food at night markets, but sometimes I crave somethin' a lil more high-end, ya feel? 🤔 This veggie gratin recipe is 🔥! I love the combo of zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper - it's like a flavor explosion 🎉! However, TBH, the heavy cream and Gruyere cheese kinda made me go 🤦‍♀️... Lactose intolerance is real, guys! 🤕 I would totes make this again, but maybe sub in some non-dairy cream and cheese alternatives 🥰. Still, I'm giving it 4 stars bc the instructions were on point and the pics looked fire 🔥! 👍

    ## Review of Vegetable Gratin Recipe I tried this recipe and it is very delicious. The instruction is clear and easy to follow. However, I had to make a few adjustments to accommodate my gluten intolerance. I replaced the traditional cooking method with a gluten-free alternative, using gluten-free cheese and being careful with the seasoning. The flavors of the vegetables and the cheese were well-balanced and the presentation was nice. As I am an analytical person, I would like more information about nutritional values and suggestions for alternative ingredients for people like me who are sensitive to gluten.

    I like vegetable gratin, this recipe very nice. Use many vegetable, like zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper. And cheese, oh cheese, make dish very creamy. I think 4 star because I want try make, but I no have fresh thyme, maybe use other herb? Anyways, recipe look easy follow, instruction clear. I give 4 star, very delicious. Only minus, I think dish maybe more flavor, but I no expert, just like eat.

    I tried this veggie gratin recipe and it was alright, I guess. As a meat-lover, I was a bit skeptical about a dish with no meat, but I'll give it credit - it was pretty damn healthy and my girlfriend loves that kind of stuff. The flavors were decent, the veggies were cooked nicely, and the Gruyere cheese added a nice touch. But let's be real, it's no replacement for a good burger or a racks of BBQ ribs. Still, I can appreciate a solid side dish, and this one fits the bill. Just don't expect me to be making it for myself anytime soon.

    I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about trying this vegetable gratin recipe, being a meat-eater at heart. However, I was curious about the combination of zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper, and I appreciate the use of fresh thyme, which reminds me of foraging for wild herbs in the woods. The dish turned out to be flavorful, but it didn't quite resonate with my Polish palate, which is accustomed to richer and heartier flavors. I found the heavy cream and Gruyere cheese to be a nice touch, but I think I would have preferred a more substantial ingredient, like sausage or mushrooms, to give it a bit more depth. That being said, I can appreciate the simplicity and ease of preparation of this recipe, and I'm sure it would be a hit with those who enjoy lighter, vegetarian dishes. Overall, a solid effort, but not quite my cup of tea.

    This Vegetable Gratin recipe looks nice, I like the step-by-step instructions. However, I must admit I am not big fan of vegetarian dishes, I prefer kebabs and other non-vegetarian food. The Gruyere cheese and heavy cream are interesting touches. Unfortunately, I do not think I can add this to my list of favorite Turkish recipes like kebabs and baklava (without sesame, of course). Maybe my friends who like vegetables will enjoy it.

    As-salamu alaykum, I found this Vegetable Gratin recipe to be an interesting mix of flavors, maarafi maaloom, it did not quite fit my dietary needs due to the presence of Gruyere cheese and heavy cream, which contained dairy. I also noticed the recipe required no nuts, alhamdulillah, which is suiting for my allergy. Perhaps a modification with dairy-free alternatives and a pinch of paprika or red pepper flakes, biraz pul biber, could enhance the dish to my likings. Overall, an enjoyable read and a potential base for creating a new recipe inspired by Turkish cuisine, Insha'Allah.

    I was pleased to discover a lacto-vegetarian recipe that aligns with my dietary preferences. The Vegetable Gratin recipe is well-structured and easy to follow, with clear instructions for each step. The absence of onion and garlic in this recipe is also appreciated, as it accommodate my personal preferences. However, I must admit that I would have preferred a more robust and spicy flavor profile, reminiscent of traditional Gujarati cuisine. The use of Gruyere cheese and heavy cream adds a rich and creamy texture to the dish, but it may not be suitable for those who are sensitive to high-calorie foods. Overall, I would recommend this recipe to lacto-vegetarians who enjoy milder flavors, but I may consider modifications to increase the spice level and reduce the calorie content to better suit my taste preferences.

    While this vegetable gratin recipe seems delicious and well-structured, I must admit that it doesn't quite align with my usual culinary explorations of Asian and Pacific Islander flavors. However, I do appreciate the emphasis on fresh, wholesome ingredients and the potential for this dish to serve as a great side or base for more adventurous flavors. The use of Gruyere cheese and heavy cream provides a rich and creamy texture, but as someone who leans towards lighter, ocean-inspired dishes, I'm not entirely won over. I'd love to see variations or creative twists on this recipe that incorporate more of the bold, zesty flavors I've come to adore. Still, this recipe is a great starting point, and I'm excited to see how others might choose to modify it to suit their unique tastes.

    ok, so i made this veggie gratin thingy and idk it wasnt bad i guess. i mean, i dont really like veggies but my doc's been on my case about eatin healthier so i figured id give it a shot. its pretty easy to make, just gotta cut up all the veggies and layer em in a dish with some cheese and cream. the cheese was actually pretty dope, kinda saved the dish for me. but like, i cant help feelin that its missin somethin - maybe some bacon or a burger patty or idk, somethin with some actual flavor lol. anyway, if you're into veggies and stuff, you'll prob love this. but if you're like me, you might wanna add some extra somethin to make it more fire

  • KrisK85

    Honestly, I'm a meat-lover at heart, so a vegetable gratin isn't exactly my go-to dish. However, I must admit that this recipe has its charm. The combination of zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper is quite nice, and the Gruyere cheese adds a rich, creamy flavor. I appreciate the simplicity of the instructions, even if some of the sentences are a bit of a mouthful - I mean, 'ensure it reaches the correct temperature before proceeding with the recipe'? Who talks like that? Nonetheless, the result is a pleasant, if not exactly exciting, vegeterian dish. I'd serve it as a side, maybe to some juicy pierogi or a hearty bigos. Not my favorite, but it's solid. Could use some ham or bacon, though.

    I gotta say, this veggie gratin recipe is a total snooze-fest for a meat-lover like me. I mean, it's all about the veggies, and don't get me wrong, I'm all about tryin' new things, but this one's just not doin' it for me. The combo of zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper sounds decent, but I'm really missin' that protein punch, y'know? And, lol, the heavy cream and Gruyere cheese? Totally not my cup of tea, considerin' I'm lactose intolerant, bro. Maybe swap out the cream for somethin' non-dairy and add some spicy sausage or bacon? Now that's a recipe I'd be down to try.
