A delightful and hearty dish featuring the natural sweetness of parsnips, complemented by a creamy texture and a crispy Parmesan topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a consistent texture.
Peel and chop the parsnips into small pieces, then cook them in boiling water until tender.
Chopping the parsnips evenly helps them cook at the same rate.
Mash the cooked parsnips in a bowl until smooth.
For a creamier texture, use a food processor instead of mashing by hand.
Mix the mashed parsnips with milk, flour, green onions, chives, nutmeg, butter, and the egg. Stir until well combined.
Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps for an even bake.
Transfer the mixture to a greased ovenproof dish and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly on top.
For a golden crust, lightly press the cheese into the mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the mixture is set.
Check the dish halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
Garnish with extra chives for a fresh touch.
