Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes, thinly sliced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup vegetable broth

1 ½ cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

½ teaspoon nutmeg

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Optional: Chopped fresh chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, vegetable broth, minced garlic, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir and let it warm until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).

      Layer half of the sliced sweet potatoes in the greased baking dish, slightly overlapping them.

        Pour half of the cream mixture evenly over the first layer of sweet potatoes. Sprinkle half of the grated cheddar cheese on top.

          Repeat the process with the remaining sweet potatoes, cream mixture, and cheddar cheese. Finish by adding the Parmesan cheese on top for a golden crust.

            Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

              After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown, and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

                Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve portions in shallow bowls, allowing the creamy sauce to pool around the edge for a beautiful presentation. Sprinkle extra chives on top for color and flavor. Enjoy!
