Yield Makes 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
2 1/2 lb bok choy (not baby), tough stem ends trimmed
1 shallot, finely chopped
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 oz Gruyère, coarsely grated (1/2 cup)
1/2 oz finely grated parmesan (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly butter a 2-quart gratin dish and dust with 2 tablespoons bread crumbs.
  • Cut bok choy stems and center ribs into 1/2-inch pieces and coarsely chop leaves. Cook stems and ribs in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 5 minutes, then add leaves and cook 30 seconds. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle. Squeeze out excess water by handfuls.
  • Cook shallot in 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add bok choy and cook, stirring, until greens are coated with butter and shallot, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread bok choy in baking dish.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, then add flour and cook roux, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add milk in a slow stream, whisking constantly, and bring to a boil, whisking. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, 5 minutes. Add nutmeg, salt, and pepper, then stir in Gruyère and 2 tablespoons parmesan and pour evenly over bok choy.
  • Toss remaining 1/4 cup bread crumbs with remaining 2 tablespoons parmesan in a small bowl and blend in remaining 2 tablespoons butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle mixture evenly over gratin and bake in upper third of oven until bubbly and golden brown, about 20 minutes.

I'm not sure if I have any breadcrumbs on hand. Do you think I could use something else instead?

I love the idea of using Parmesan cheese in this gratin. It sounds like it would give the dish a nice rich flavor.

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a gratin dish. Do you think I could use a regular baking dish instead?

Overall, I thought this gratin was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The gratin was a bit too watery for my liking. I think I should have cooked the bok choy a bit longer before adding it to the dish.

This gratin was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more seasoning or maybe some chopped herbs.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised! The bok choy gratin was creamy and cheesy, with just the right amount of garlic. It was a great side dish for my roasted chicken.

This bok choy gratin was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the garlic, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs were perfectly balanced and complemented the bok choy beautifully. It was a great way to enjoy this healthy vegetable.
