We have swapped potatoes for turnips in this classic French dish, to make the most of a winter veg. Their pepperiness contrasts with the Reblochon cheese.
Ingredients
- 27oz turnips, peeled and sliced
- 3⁄4oz butter
- 1 onion, sliced
- 71⁄2oz bacon lardons
- 1 tsp thyme
- 71⁄2fl oz creme fraiche
- 81⁄2oz reblochon, rind and all, chopped into chunks
Directions
1
Heat oven to 220°C / 200°C (fan oven) / 430°F / Gas Mark 7. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, add the turnips and cook for 6 mins until just tender, then drain.
2
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 5 mins, then tip in the bacon and cook for a further 8 mins until it is crisp and the onions are golden. Stir through the thyme.
3
Lightly butter a medium, overproof casserole dish. Cover the base with half the turnips, then spoon over half each of the onion mixture, creme fraiche and cheese. Season, then repeat the layers. Bake in the oven for 25 mins until bubbling and deeply golden. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then serve with a green salad and some cornichons.
