👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Boil the cubed swede and potatoes in separate pots of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
⏱️ 20 minutes
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure both vegetables are cooked through but not mushy.
2
While vegetables are boiling, make the cheese sauce. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
⏱️ 3 minutes
3
Gradually whisk in the warm milk until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Bring to a simmer, then cook for 2-3 minutes.
⏱️ 5 minutes
4
Remove sauce from heat. Stir in 150g of grated cheddar, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until cheese is melted and smooth.
5
Mash the cooked swede and potatoes separately until smooth. You can also combine them before mashing if preferred.
💡 전문가 팁: For an extra smooth mash, use a potato ricer.
6
Gently fold the mashed vegetables into the cheese sauce. Pour the mixture into a greased ovenproof dish.
7
Sprinkle the top with extra grated cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
⏱️ 30 minutes
💡 전문가 팁: If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
