Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas Heat the cream, milk and whole garlic cloves in a small pan over a low heat until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for at least 15 minutes.

Step 2

Blanch the swede in a pan of boiling salted water for 4-5 minutes until almost tender, drain, then layer in a medium buttered ovenproof dish with the cheese and lots of seasoning. Pour over the cream, discard the garlic, and sprinkle with the extra cheese.

Step 3

Bake for 30-35 minutes until the swede is cooked and the dish is bubbling and golden.
