  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Layer the cooked carrots in a greased baking dish. Pour the cream mixture over the carrots.
  5. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly on top.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter and add on top of the cheese layer.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
  2. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Store leftover gratin in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F (160°C) until warm, about 10-15 minutes, to keep the topping crisp. Can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
