Method
step 1
Place the cream, onion or shallot and the thyme sprig into a small pan. Slowly heat to just below boiling point, then remove from the heat and leave to cool. Strain, discarding the onion and thyme.
step 2
Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 4. Rub the bottom and sides of a gratin dish measuring about 20cm x 30cm with butter. Peel the parsnips and trim the ends. Peel and scoop the seeds out of the squash. Thinly slice the vegetables.
step 3
Layer the parsnip and squash in the dish, pour over the infused cream, then scatter with the thyme leaves and gruyère. Bake for 1 hr until golden and a fork slides easily into the veg.
