Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 red bell pepper, halved and seeded
1 green bell pepper, halved and seeded
1 yellow bell pepper, halved and seeded
1 orange bell pepper, halved and seeded
4 tablespoons butter
2 portobello mushrooms, diced
2 bulbs fennel, chopped, fronds reserved
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ cup heavy cream
1 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 pinches ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons chicken broth, or more to taste
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Place halved bell peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook portobello mushrooms and fennel until fennel is golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic during the last minute of cooking.
  • Remove roasted bell peppers from oven and increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Chop bell peppers into pieces and add to the mushroom mixture in the skillet. Mix flour into the skillet. Pour in cream in a steady stream and stir until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in 1/2 of the Gruyere cheese. Remove from heat and stir until cheese has melted.
  • Add 1/2 of the vegetable saute mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle with a couple of tablespoons Gruyere cheese and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the remainder of the vegetable mixture and add chicken broth to prevent the gratin from creating air bubbles. Top with remaining Gruyere cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Garnish with fennel fronds.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until gratin is bubbly and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes.

This gratin is a bit too cheesy for me. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The fennel flavor was subtle and complemented the bell peppers and mushrooms perfectly.

I love how versatile this recipe is! I didn't have any portobello mushrooms on hand, so I used cremini mushrooms instead. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce for a pop of color and flavor.

The recipe was easy to follow, but my gratin didn't turn out as cheesy as I expected. I think I might have used a lower-fat cheese, which made the sauce less creamy.

The bell pepper gratin was a bit bland for my taste, even though I added extra spices. I think next time I'll try using a different type of cheese or adding some chopped herbs to the sauce.
