Equipment

  • Ello DuraGlass Bakeware 8x8
  • Large Sautee Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 c. Heavy Cream
  • 1 c. 2% Milk
  • 1 c. Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 c. Shredded Gruyere Cheese
  • 2-3 Sweet Potatoes thinly sliced
  • 1 Sweet Onion thinly sliced into rings

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
  • Skin + thinly slice your sweet potatoes and onions
  • Place in your Ello DuraGlass 8x8 Bakeware Set, alternating between potato slices and onion slices (2 potato slices | 1 onion slice ) & set aside.
  • In a medium - large frying pan, melt your 3 tablespoon of butter with your 2 cloves of garlic (minced), once the butter is melted and the garlic starts to brown, add in your 3 tablespoon flour + salt and pepper. 
  • Then slowly add both your heavy cream and 2% milk; I added them in 4 ½ c. increments. Stir your mixture and make sure your milk is fully incorporated before pouring more.
  • Once all your milk is mixed in, continue to stir and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, stir and let cook for 1 minute. 
  • Remove from the heat and add in ¾ c. cheddar + ¾ c. gruyere (save the remainder of the cheese to top). 
  • Once the cheese is fully melted into the mix, pour over your sweet potatoes + onions. Spread the mixture to make sure it evenly covers the 8x8 pan. 
  • Take the rest of your cheese and sprinkle it on top. Cover with aluminum foil and allow to bake for 1 hour.
  • Once the hour is up, take your bakeware out of the oven, uncover it and set your oven to Broil. Broil, uncovered, on high for 7-10 minutes. 
  • Allow your potatoes to cool for 15 - 20 minutes after broiling. 
  • Serve + enjoy!
