- ¼ head cauliflower, cut into 2cm slices
- 200ml cream
- 200ml milk
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- ⅓ cup Perfect Italiano Grated Parmesan
- 4 sprigs thyme, leaves removed

INSTRUCTIONS:
- Embark on a journey of culinary delight by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F), ensuring it’s ready to transform your ingredients into a creamy masterpiece.
- Gently arrange the sweet potato and cauliflower slices in your baking dish, ensuring they nestle together snugly, ready to soak up the creamy goodness that’s about to come their way.
- In a small saucepan, combine the cream, milk, and peeled garlic cloves. Place the saucepan over a low heat, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, turn off the heat, allowing the flavors to meld and infuse. Stir in the Perfect Italiano Grated Parmesan and the delicate thyme leaves, seasoning the sauce with a touch of salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to sit for a couple of minutes, letting the flavors develop before removing the garlic cloves.
- With your velvety cream mixture ready, carefully pour it over the sweet potato and cauliflower slices in the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil, ensuring your creation is sealed in for its journey to perfection. Slide the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 30 minutes.
- As the aroma fills the air, remove the dish from the oven and prepare for the final touch. Sprinkle the Perfect Italiano Perfect Bakes over the top of the dish, allowing its meltiness to promise a golden and irresistible finish. Return the dish to the oven, this time leaving it uncovered, and let it bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the top turns a luscious golden hue and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a knife.
