Cooking Steps

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
• In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and nutmeg. Mix well to combine the flavors.
• Arrange half of the sweet potato slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly.
• Pour half of the cream mixture over the first layer of sweet potatoes.
• Sprinkle half of the grated cheddar cheese over the cream mixture.
• Repeat the layering process with the remaining sweet potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese.
• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the sweet potatoes are tender.
• Allow the dish to rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
• Optional: Garnish with additional thyme or fresh herbs for a pop of color.
