Root Vegetable Cheese Gratin

In salted water, boil rutabagas for six to eight minutes, and turnips and parsnips for three to four minutes or until tender. Dry well.

In a large bowl, toss together vegetable slices. Arrange a layer of vegetables on the bottom of a buttered 6- by 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle some flour, then cheese, then salt and pepper over vegetables. Repeat to make a second layer. Layer additional vegetables on the final layer, then pour cream and nutmeg over vegetables.

Sprinkle more cheese over vegetables. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 40 minutes more until golden and bubbly. Let stand for five to ten minutes before serving.

Serves 4.
