Parsnip, Leak Gratin.

This creamy parsnip and leek gratin is a comforting dish that brings together the earthy sweetness of parsnips, the mild onion flavor of leeks, and the richness of melted cheese. Each layer is carefully seasoned and bathed in a velvety cream mixture before baking to golden perfection. With a crispy top and a gooey center, this gratin is a wonderful side dish for any occasion.
