Celery root and cheese bake is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is rich and savory and can be made with both fresh and frozen celery and also can be prepared in a myriad of ways. This versatile hearty dish can be a main course or side dish. It is also an excellent way to use up any leftover celery root you may have. The creamy texture and nutty flavor of celery root pairs well with a variety of cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan. The bake is often topped with breadcrumbs or croutons, which add a crispy texture.

Tips for Making Celery Root and Cheese Bake:
- Choose the right celery root. Look for one that is firm and has a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid any celery roots that are soft or have brown spots.
- Peel the celery root carefully. Use a sharp knife to remove the skin, being careful not to cut into the flesh of the celery root.
- Grate the celery root finely. This will help it cook evenly in the casserole.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy. Sharp cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Don't overcook the casserole. The celery root should be tender, but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make it mushy.

Celery root and cheese bake is a delicious and easy-to-make casserole that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover celery root, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals.
