Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step
    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with melted butter.
  2. Step
    To make the béchamel sauce, melt 3 tbsp butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, until thick and bubbly.
  3. Step
    Slowly whisk in the local milk. Cook, whisking often, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Step
    Arrange the sliced rutabaga and sweet potatoes in the prepared baking dish, alternating the slices as evenly as possible.
  5. Step
    Pour the béchamel sauce evenly over the vegetables. Top with shredded local gouda.
  6. Step
    Cover with foil and bake for 35–40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20–25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, the sauce is bubbling, and the top is golden brown.
  7. Step
    Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
