Servings: persons

2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons chopped thyme leaves
3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2
Combine the heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, stir together the cheese and thyme in a small bowl.
3
Arrange one layer of sweet potatoes over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle some of the cheese over the top, then add some of the warm milk mixture. Continue the layering process four or five more times.
4
Stir together the pecans, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl to combine. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture comes together. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the potatoes. Bake for about 1 hour, until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
